Detailed Show Notes

Dan and Jordan discuss the past week on the Alex Jones Show, where Alex repeatedly said he was going to take a few days off, then kept showing back up for cameos on the show.

Topics covered include:

• Alex has a new pre-publish study from Australia (or Austria?) that he is using to argue that the coronavirus was man-made. This is much less definitive than he is reporting.
• Alex discusses Alex Azar saying that there aren't spikes being seen in areas that have reopened, but failed to point out that he also said it was too early to determine the effects of reopening.
• Alex misrepresents news about a lab that was recently put on a temporary hold by the FDA. They weren't shut down due to faulty tests, it was a technical matter about them having authorization to release results to people who send in samples.
• Alex is mad at Melinda Gates wearing an upside-down cross in a recent TV interview. Alex thinks it's Satanic, but seems to be completely unaware that it is a very important symbol in Catholicism, the Cross of St. Peter. Incidentally, Melinda Gates is a very public member of the Catholic church.
• Alex makes up a Norse history for the peace symbol. In reality, it was designed by artist Gerald Holtom in 1958, largely motivated by the nuclear disarmament movement. Alex thinks the peace symbol is the Norse symbol for death, because it looks like a tree. Alex is mixing up Valknut (a symbol of death) and Yggdrasil (which is a tree, but not a symbol of death).
• Alex misrepresents a story about a man wanted by the police in the UK for kissing a woman on the cheek. The reality of the story is that the woman in question reported it to the police and was distressed by the man's gesture.
• Alex claims that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the only treatments for respiratory conditions. This is not true.
• Alex claims that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the only treatments for lupus. While it is prescribed to manage lupus, it is only one of many medications that are used in that context.
• Alex claims that hundreds and hundreds of studies have shown Hydroxychloroquine is 100% effective in treating coronavirus. There aren't even hundreds of studies about this question, and the most recent ones have indicated that the medication doesn't do anything.
• Alex misrepresents a study about Covid-19 mortality and Vitamin D deficiency. Also, he mentions a doctor who got arrested for giving patients Vitamin C. The story is more about fraud.
• Alex recommended his listeners take 100 mg of zinc daily, which will protect them from coronavirus, and apparently have no negative effects. That dose can definitely have some negative effects.
• Greg Reece and Harrison Smith reveal that they don't know much about a virus's "basic reproduction number" and "effective reproduction number," and that neither of them thought to look into it before speculating about nonsense on air.
