1. Gotta admit, he does pull it together perfectly in the end there, nails it!

As an aside, I literally have been telling people since I was like 15 that if you're smart, you are smart enough to know that you're smart. Whereas if you're stupid, you're not going to be able to figure out that you're stupid. A postulate that I came up with on my own as a teenager.

And now it has a name

Guess I'm a smart mofo

I would rather take a shot than drink oregano oil every morning.

8. I called this last February. The biggest thing we faced was the cowboy mentality

9. Most can do anything for 10 days and watch their Covid symptoms disappear

Except those that can’t because they get really sick.

The right source could tell these people anything and they’d believe it, like stick a radish up your rectum for 10 days straight and your Covid symptoms will disappear, or rub crushed worms all over your body for 10 days straight, or spin 3 times counterclockwise and stand on your head for 3 minutes for 10 days straight. Post hoc ergo propter hoc!

10. Want to hear one of these morons tell Dr. Fauci to "do his research"🤬

12. Sorry, but I won't join in the amusement...

The people filming this are misrepresenting themselves as being with CNN. If you want to continue to build distrust of the media, this is a good way to do it.

13. Fair enough

I guess I knew they were not representing CNN but mocking the on-the-street interview style, but I can see that some might read more into it.
