George Carlin - Germs, Immune System

It's just one more way of reducing your liberty and reminding you they can f*ck with you any time they want, as long as you put up with it, as long as you put up with it, which means of course, anytime they want. Because that's what Americans do nowadays, they're always willing to trade away a little of their freedom, for the FEELING, the ILLUSION of security. What we have now is a completely neurotic population obsessed with security and safety and crime and drugs and cleanliness and hygiene and germs. That's another thing. Germs. Where did the sudden fear of germs come from in this country? Have you noticed the media constantly running about all the latest infections: salmonella, E. Coli, hantavirus, bird flue? And Americans, they panic easily, so now everybody's running around, scrubbing this and spraying that, and overcooking their food and repeatedly washing their hands, trying to avoid all contact with germs. It's ridiculous and it goes to ridiculous lengths.Show more

When was the last time you heard the authorities and main stream media talk about strengthening your immune system since 2020? Conversely, how many times did you hear them about everything related to germs and stopping the spread: testing and tracing, face masks, social distancing, hygiene, lock down, vaccination? Think about that discrepancy. How PROFITABLE is a population with a strong immune system for Big Pharma and the medical industry, such as for profit hospitals? How much CONTROL can the government exert over the people if the people are not scared of the latest germ, if the people have strong immune systems and early treatment, and KNOW they have it?
