- Is COVID more deadly than the flu? Is Omicron the same as the flu? Is this OMI-COLD as some people are calling it? I review data from the UK comparing these 2 viruses to find out whether COVID more deadly than the flu... Influenza's infection fatality rate is approximately 0.03% which means about 1 in 3,000 people who get influenza die. I compare this to the current COVID infection fatality rate.

NeoCoV | One Mutation Away from the Next Deadly Coronavirus Pandemic?
How about for people that have not been exposed at least they don’t think they have been and they did not get the vaccine not even one and they have comorbidities like Graves’ disease but yet and mitral valve prolapse but they’re in their 40s?
I caught the Hong Kong flu 50 years ago, and Covid 2 years ago. My experience with Covid was a walk in the park, compared to the severity and duration of my illness with the Hong Kong flu. I caught both viruses during the winter months, and have never had a flu shot nor C19 vaccine.
Is very subjective the experience with both d¡seases
@@palolo381 Yes. But call it Empirical data: thus it is also far more VALID than general population and demographic data.
I had no issues with Covid either, but the Flu...... I almost died of the flu back when I was about 22 years old. I'll take Covid a thousand times over rather than the Flu. No Covid shots for me yet, and have not had a flu vaccine since I was working at a nurse and was forced to get it to work..... maybe 13 years ago.
Sweeden did nothing and was fine, and they didn't trash their economy
Sweden must not have a MSM like the USA @@sarahrose1454
Can you also address how the definition of a covid death is completely different than a flu death though!!! They don’t mark every death with 28 days after a positive flu test a flu death, but they do for covid …
Dr Moran, be it research or be it practical medical knowledge. You stand out the best. Your in depth analysis of medical aspects and presenting the facts the way it is gives more than just a clear explanation. May God bless you..stay healthy and happy
Thank you for being the voice of reason, Dr. Moran!!! Love your videos! And Mercedes is gorgeous!!!
Thank you very much Helen!
Hello Helen
I appreciate all the work that has been put into these videos. They were much needed over the last 2 years.
I can't help but wonder how many factors were not considered in the comparison of the IFR for covid vs flu over time. For example early in the pandemic, no doctors knew what they were dealing with or what would be an effective way to treat patients suffering severe symptoms, but after a year or so of seeing what worked and what didn't most hospitals converged on better treatment practice, which in and of itself might have reduced the IFR even if no vaccines had been made available. I also can't help wonder how much lower the IFR would have been throughout the past two years if ivermectin hadn't been essentially banned. And as for the non-seasonal pattern of covid, how much of that might be explained by the forced lockdowns keeping everyone indoors throughout spring summer and fall.
Since IVM doesn’t work it wouldn’t have saved a single lige
Great video. I wonder why our hard hitting News Agencies in USA are not touching this?
News agencies- "hey, look over there! Ukraine!"
Canada MSM propaganda won’t touch it either
Good morning Dr Moran. (Well from our side of the globe. Over there must be midnight)
Thanks again for data made simple and clear.
A lot of doctors have the facts but end up making things more confusing.
You just presented the right stuff with the right amount. 👍
About 10 years ago I had gotten the flu in June & was in the hospital for 7 days. It was the sickest I had been in my life. Had a bad cough & tired for about 9 months. It took a very long time to recover. Had Covid 3 times now. That to was bad but not as bad as the flu. Thank you Dr for always keeping us updated so we can protect ourselves, it’s appreciated!
Hello Cindy
How many times getting covid is enough for you to realize infection doesn't provide protection?
Many thanks for all your work during the pendemic!
Love that the cats are back. Great info.

Hello E
How are you doing today
Dr. Moran, it is impressive to me that you can take a topic that others would spend an hour on and get out the medical facts in such a short time about OMIGOD vs. the Common Cold vs. "The Flu" and throw in Pneumonia at the end. I've been trying to do this very comparison as a "lay" person but it is supremely difficult to find hard data. Thank you for being mannered, well-spoken and economical with your words. It is a blessing to have access to you on this heavily censored platform. So much factual gold in only 7 minutes! Just Brilliant. Much Love!
Thank you very much Brewster! That's a very kind comment. I'm glad my videos have been helpful.

Hello Lisa
I love the orange Kitty- Mercedes❣️
Excited for this new video!
You need to get out more
This is good info to know. Although i always thought flu germs were always present year round despite the temp. just not as prevalent during summer because people are outside more with windows open in their houses to let fresh air in. I think flu and covid are very similar in that regard.
awesome information 👏 what would we do without exceptional videos by good medical experts
Thanks for commenting and for your kind words Alexandra!
I'm over all this. I don't give a cats furry behind what variants of anything are out there. Time to live.
And yet here you are watching the video and then commenting on it!

🏆 Great Science summary🏆
Thanks for your valuable information... I just love your beautiful kitties... a very nice touch I must say...
Will you ever make a video on smoking and COVID 19 ?
Thank you for the good summary, I enjoy your videos. Can you please clarify whether the data used was deaths with covid or death from covid? I recently heard that deaths from covid are much less.
It's not clear because it's very likely flu deaths were misclassified by pcr as c disease. C deaths alone were apparently 18,000 to date, the rest were with comorbidities.
Mar to June 2020: 9% according to the ONS -, 4,475 out of 50,335. Deaths "due to" covid is a lot more but again skewed by incentives to label covid as the main cause of death.
Hooray. Now we know you are a real doctor - the cats are back!
Sad that good Doctors refuse to look or talk about Vitamin D levels, before suggesting an experimental procedure with known issues.
I’ve spoken about it many times on the channel and in the video that I recommended in this particular video. Unfortunately, many people have died of Covid with normal vitamin D levels.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran They may have died with normal vitamin D levels but what was their age and comorbidities?
I'm guessing they were in the extremely high risk group
@@ericb4127 That's the problem. You're guessing...
@@dorkangel1076 I'm not really guessing, they've established that the majority of people who have died from covid are either in their eighties or had 4 or more comorbidities
@@stephenguy3901 Spare me the sanctimony, I don't think it's OK for anyone to prematurely die however engaging in unnecessary lockdown instead of focused care and destroying people's lives and livelihoods is also equally unacceptable.
Thanks you for clear presentation I want to know your opinion about last pfizer report about postmarketing side effects of biontech
YES! Here in Manitoba the 5 year average deaths by Flu is 750 per year. 2 YEARS OF COVID IS 1400 OR 700 PER YEAR!
Similar in Australia
Hello Shelia
@@henrydavid8450 creep
Your cat is awesome!
Very interesting. I wonder how the infectiousness level will remain when most people got omicron behind them.
Just before this came out I was wondering if Omicrom gave protection against Delta or alpha 🤔.
@@Truth15freedom Typically when your immune system is exposed to the entire virus you have immunity against most of the variants.
Whether you know it or not vaccines were based on this principal, in 1792 doctor Jenner observed the people who had cowpox but had a natural community to smallpox.
The word vaccine is literally derived from Latin it means of or from the cow.
@@Truth15freedom It does. Know that once you have been sick with a variant of covid, you will have some level of protection.
FLU laid me out for over a week at a time.
Covid got me. 3 days headache mild cough. All good day 4.
65 years old.
Very informative, thank you and I love your kitty cat's commentary😻
Dr.Moran, are you still promoting vaccination even after the released documents from Pfizer?
Good Question
And why one treatment for the whole world
@@amarreder6241We all have a set of 23 chromosomes and 2 eyes and 2 ears and 2 legs and 2 arms (at least genetically we do, might be amputated or might not be there or function in some people because of a disorder), so I wonder why it works 🤔
A vaccine helps build immunity... Have you tried extending your argument for vaccines developed in the 20th century (America was at the forefront of those developments and all Americans were happy to get those vaccines and put those dreaded diseases behind them). One such vaccine is the Polio vaccine. Surprise surprise, there is ONE Polio vaccine for the whole world and it works for everyone! I bet you took it as well as a child, and if not, you're among the very few who didn't. Several of those who didn't take the Polio vaccine suffer from Polio, which is a horrible, incurable disease.
@@amarreder6241 I can sense with just those few illogical words out your mouth that you're a hardcore white republican guy with a compromised brain. Bet you only trust Fox news or something of the sort...
Interesting graph shown from 2:23 onwards. But it looks like ONS data, so data on the population of Great Britain, was compared to seasonal influenza data from new Zealand. Why were these 2 different populations compared, and how was the difference in seasons taken into account? Or is my assumption on ONS data being British wrong?
Thanks for commenting. The influenza rates are a pretty typical average. There’s going to be some variation country to country and season to season but this would be a pretty typical average as I mentioned in the video.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran Thanks for the reply. My concern was more with it being summer in New Zealand while it is winter in Great Britain. I asume the author of the graph compensated this somehow, I was curious as to how this compensation took place.
doc gots a fluffy furry kitty cat out break in house :)
the editing has lil miss Moran all over it lol
The cats are your delightful USP.
Works much better than a lab coat in an office.
Greetings from Australia, Perth.... ///
HELLO from the USA 🇺🇸
This ginger cat is a legend.
Omicron may not have seasonal trends yet but once endemicity becomes well established, it too will have seasonal trends. The same conditions that enable other airborne infectious virus such as influenza and the common cold will have a similar effect on omicron or whatever COVID-19 variant we end up going endemic with.
What therapeutics? My local docs denied their availability as late as Jan Feb this year. At least for 4 to 5 days into symptomatic infection. And prophylactics? No way.
Therapeutics will vary by region to region as well as country to country. I do have a video on the channel which was a state of the art video about outpatient treatments.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran Yep
The Red Cross had suspended using convalescent plasma to protect people; they had succumbed to Big Tech and our government. Now that the mid-terns are coming up, the Red Cross has reinstated the use of antibodies in blood to boost protection from covid in weakened individuals. When the mid-terms are over, the liberal strongholds will again ramp up their masking and vaccination efforts. Watch to see if the Red Cross again suspends convalescent plasma treatment after the mid-terms.
My sister age 65 had covid (Delta) and it was mild without treatment. Year or so later she has RSP and it was horrible. Almost sent her to ER. She was terribly ill and it lingered for week with the cough.
Hello Mary
I’m just now watching this video- wondering if this is still the case now that we have BA4 and BA5.
This week the BC government (Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health. Minister Adrian Dix) held a COVID update news conference announcing the schedule of the ending of various mandates.
At the beginning of the broadcast they displayed a chart which tracked daily cases, hospitalizations and deaths for January 1 2021 thru March 7th 2022.
The chart clearly showed the rise and fall for the last three variants for cases and hospitalizations.
What was most interesting is that the deaths 'line' was very low down and varied only a small amount during the entire period. My conclusion is that the measures taken, including masking and vaccination, had very little effect upon the death rate.
Finally the cats return....
I'm just recovering from something. Coughing up thick yellow phlegm,racing heart. Motorbike engine sound when inhaling. I have not been as poorly for years.
Hi Dr. Moran, I just wanted to let you know that the automatic translation turned around the question in the thumbnail to "Covid more deadly than flu?"... if that's what your video title originally intended to say then ok.. but I'd consider turning off these translations because the video itself is in english anyways
Overall, the translations are very helpful for people but obviously it makes this one somewhat confusing. There is a ? at the end of the sentence. The video does explain things.Best regards to you.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran you're right, it probably helps people who dont understand english at all as they can understand the title and then switch on subtitles 👍
Yes, the question mark is there, so at least it's still a question.
Thank you, doc. Great video, as usual.
Appreciate if you could also interpret the newly published Pfizer documents.
Can you review the Pfizer info that came out recently about the high risk side effects thats held behind during the plandemic
LOL
@@amarreder6241 What's funny?
Doc, I love the way you bring facts in a straight forward and fearless way but I must disagree with your premise that the lethality of future variants are unknown. All virus mutations have been found to get less lethal to their host over time due to they can’t survive by and multiply in a dead host. Am I missing something?
Omicron is the 5th variant of concern and killed more Americans than Delta. Delta was 5x more transmissible and 20x deadlier than the flu. Original Wuhan COVID-19 was 2x as transmissible and 10x deadlier than Flu. Every new Variant of concern up to delta was both more transmissible and deadlier than the original. Flu kills 30k Americans every year and covid has killed 1m Americans in 2 years. Smallpox, measles, HIV, ebola, sars1, mers never evolved to be less deadly.
Beware the logarithmic scales.
I should have mentioned that in the video. An oversight. Thank you for commenting Mike.
I see that your information did not come from the CDC which has lost its credibility. I appreciate your approach. Obviously, it is still best to avoid getting either disease, but it is good to be able to put the risk from covid into a useable perspective.
So you BELIEVE one and not the other? Belief being the only difference?
@@WonderBoy0403 The CDC has no credibility because it has been caught in lies and has become a political tool. I have no reason to say the same about the source cited by Dr. Moran.
CDC hides data...FDA hid side effects...politicians knew side effects and hid them. Where is informed consent??
‘We now have THERAPEUTICS as well as VACCINATION for COVID’. I love your honesty and integrity as a health professional!
Thank you Karla!
I believe there's 2 actual vaccines out there based on an attenuated covid virus.
Sadly I watched the video about a doctor who was in the ER in New York in March of 2020 and he tried steroids which saved about 60% of the people from going on ventilators he published a paper about it but it was never printed.
What vaccination or therapeutics
That vaccine is a gene therapy
The therapeutics are kidney failure
And yet therapeutics will apparently be denied to my Mum if she got C19 because of her age (80s) in the UK where a variety of them are formally sanctioned for use.
@@ericb4127 The Chinese vaccines SinoVac and Sinopharm are inactivated (killed) virus vaccines. Not attenuated. They have been used in China, Chili, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, and where I am in Thailand. SinoVac is an acceptable vaccine but has consistently performed lower than all the other vaccines. Thailand stopped using SinoVac in mid-2021 and offered everyone who had received SinoVac with Pfizer boosters. When I had a choice, I chose AstraZeneca over SinoVac. I have since had a Moderna booster.
I love the cat in video 😹😹😹😻😻😻😻😻😻😻❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Veronica!
UA-cam translates the title wrongly as "more lethal" instead of "less lethal"
Which language is the translation? We might be able to manually correct that.
And now they are freaking people out with the new "variant" Deltacron...... when are we going to stop freaking out about Covid, talking about it and testing for it.
Is this new v from Africa
When we stop voting in liberals and RINOs.
Good to know! Thx for showing those charts. Give Mercedes some extra pets for starring in the video 😸
Hello
What is the death rate of Covid alone, without co-morbidities included?
I'd still like to see a study of urban vs rural for susceptibility and IFR. Consider the 1 in 30,000 IFR, I'm rural, I doubt I have 30K first or second hand contacts a year but in a bigger city, that might only take a week. If so, shouldn't different protocols apply? One size doesn't seem to fit all. Or was this a political issue? On another point, I'm 79, maybe from a stronger or colder emotionally time...we knew the sickly kids and adults and we treated them differently, some parents coddled them (in my opinion, the worst thing they could have done) while others said get out there and enjoy life...the second group fared better in my view. Their comorbidities may have shortened their lives but the quality of life was much higher. This so-called panic-demic created a nation (or world) of hypochondriacs by stressing the death toll rather than the survival rate.
Haven't had the flu in 20 years. Never once have I had a flu shot. Never once have I had a covid vaccine. Never once have I tested positive for covid. Does it mean I'm immune or just lucky?
Ditto except it has been around 60 years. I was told ages ago that the germ, the conditions (cold, wet. etc) and the mood (depressed, etc) were requirements for a cold. Don't know if that applies to other viruses though but I'm an "up" person who has lived in Alaska, Idaho and now Wisconsin. I dress for the weather and stay happy.
You have good genes, & blessed with good health, keeping doing what you're doing. Stay healthy.
Just means you ain’t got no antibodies my guy lol
Some people have good immunity. To go 20 years without getting sick is much more than luck. You have some sort of natural ability and/or antibodies protecting you. I think you should test that, though. Pay someone with covid or the flu to spit in your mouth then get back to us.
@@lil_sumpinsi9961 Exact opposite...The immune system cells produce antibodies when they react with foreign protein antigens, such as infectious organisms, toxins and pollen. At any given time, the body has a large surplus of antibodies, including specific antibodies that target thousands of different antigens.
Could it be that
(1) if you have no prior immunity (prior infection or vaccination), Omicron is _equally_ as severe as prior variants.
(2) if have prior immunity whether from prior infection or vaccination, Omicron is much less severe.
(3) since a large portion of the population has prior immunity, Omicron _seems_ less severe when viewed at a population level.
Possible or impossible? If impossible, why?
Dont believe this is true. Recall data showing Omicron inherently less severe. Yes? No?
@@mikebarker9187 If you have proof that Omicron is inherently less severe, please share it. But per my earlier comment, population-level statistics are not evidence of that.
Now that things are becoming more normal, I hope the economy levels out,, and inflation scales back. I hope there is a return to close to what things were, but I sadly doubt it for the near future...or ever.
Inflation has nothing to do with Covid. Everything with government printing too much money and paying people to do nothing!
@@gideonwestgate3291 did you forget that the supply chain was shut down or drastically decreased due to people not being able to work? A year without production is hard to make up for. Supply and demand is a big part of what we are dealing with, and yes, among other things (such as what you mentioned).
@@JoshBenware True. But the supply chain didn't need to be shut down. Whether they be politicians or doctors, government bureaucrats are always wrong.
@@gideonwestgate3291 I agree, but it was shut down. We can argue why it should or shouldn't have been (but we agree), but the fact remains. And we can't blame this all on artificial inflation only. Lumber, for example, is still backlogged. That is shown in the availability of housing, therefore skyrocketing housing prices.
Now, as far as groceries, etc- yeah, that's purely this administration's fault. Most things are inflated due to sky high gas prices, and that is purely Brandon's fault.
@@JoshBenware Yes! Agreed!
I don't know what strain of covid I had but it had me sick and at home for a month and a half in January. I'm healthy and work out 5 to 6 times a week....don't drink, don't smoke, not overweight, not on meditation. I don't ever want covid again. I also got covid pneumonia. Still not 100% and it's been 2 1/2 months. I'm back to working out and everything but definitely still get tired much more easily. Never lost my sense of smell but had fatigue, fever, terrible cough, headaches, nausea, sore throat, body aches that were awful, dizziness, dehydration happened...thank God for Gatorade. I drank so many fluids but it was still a battle. Didn't really have shortness of breath, but definitely had panic attacks. Overall, my body the worst I've ever felt. I've had flu before, but this was far worse. I also had covid brain fog for a month and couldn't remember the most simple of things. Thanks for your videos...love watching them.

Another quality video. A few points to add:
1) Cases numbers show seasonal variation. The drop in C disease numbers after Jan 21 coincides with the end of the flu season, so may not all be attributed to the V.
2) All cause mortality did NOT decrease with the introduction of the V. It went up in almost all countries. Why? See Joel Smalley data analysis.
3) Flu cases are almost definitely being misclassified as C disease.I asked the ONS this and they were unwilling to give an opinion. Why? Almost zero flu cases is not plausible. This will heavily swing numbers to the C disease.
4) C disease statistics are being confused by numbers of people dying "with" C disease. We are not seeing the same attribution for flu.
In conclusion the statistics are unsatisfactory and there is not enough clarity because the narrative seems to be to highlight C disease and diminish other common causes of death (for instance cancer, pulmonary disease, lower chronic respiratory disease, heart disease all saw sudden decreases in mortality as C disease arrived. Until we have honesty and clarity from authorities we cannot trust even official ONS, mhra, or UK HSA statistics.
Cat=credibility
My unvaccinated wife and daughter got covid, some fever for two days and they were OK after that. I am "fully vaxed" got covid and spent 5 days in bed fatigued with fever headaches, sore throat, cough etc. I consider myself very healthy and went through many flu infections in the past with very mild symptoms. Did vaccination impact my general immunity?
Individual responses to infection have been all over the board from the very beginning of the pandemic with little explanation for why one person is symptom-free and another from the same demographic ends up in hospital---or the grave. However, Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths have skewed VERY heavily toward the un-vaccinated over the last year. So the likely answer to your question is that the vaccine may have kept you out of the hospital.
Unless the statistics have been corrected for factors such as the At Risk groups being diminished by the initial high fatality rate and the heavy over reporting of the wuhan as the cause rather than being simply present I would not put a whole lot of stock in them. The initial high mortality rate was significantly contributed to by a large number of people who were well past their use by date and living on borrowed time due to flu jabs and other interventions prolonging their lives, it was also exacerbated by improper treatment and gross negligence by certain government officials in the USA and elsewhere and politically based bloody mindedness in not using certain lifesaving treatments such as monoclonal antibodies and anti parasitic drugs.
Data from ONS in UK and yet here I am in the UK asking about the availability of antivirals for my Mum in her 80's with co-morbidities for C19 and told by a District Nurse "won't get any because of her age". And yet we were all pushed to be vaccinated to protect the vulnerable, in partic the over 80's. Also Omicron is intrinsically 75%* as pathogenic as Delta. Lower illness due to much much greater prevalence of immunity by the time it arrived. *Dr Pilz data
The district nurse was lying to you. You have the right to access off-label medicines.
Not sure if anyone else caught this. But, instead of 1/30,000 it should be 1/3,333 for the seasonal flu. Formula is 1/% or 1/.03%.
Overall, these numbers are very similar to the overall in Alberta from April 2020 through Dec 21 when we switched to OMICRON. Since then our IFR is 0.06% or double seasonal flu. The distribution during the OMICRON wave continues to be over 70 with 2 or more comorbidities making over 85% of all deaths. Deaths in those under 40 are at 1/40,000.
20-29 yr. .001% 1/88,000
30-39 yr. .003% 1/30,000
40-49 yr. .007% 1/13,600
50-59 yr. .023% 1/4,420 All ages below this are better than seasonal flu
60-69 yr. .108% 1//923
70-79 yr. .390% 1/257
80+ yr. ,641% 1/156

ATTENTION Those graphs are on a log scale

Hello Sarah
I’m not sure from the video if your data takes into account confirmed infections vs estimated infections due to less testing in the beginning of the pandemic as well as those who had covid and were never confirmed positive. I fall into this group along with most of my family. One person in the household had a confirmed positive but we all exhibited symptoms. I was tested for antibodies a few months later and confirmed to have antibodies but not everyone does this and I don’t believe those numbers are included in the IFR. Additionally, for most of the pandemic (maybe even now), covid deaths were counted as dying WITH Covid (not from Covid) as many doctors have stated including Dr Birx.
Is that the way they've counted Covid deaths in the UK?
Dr Moran I hope you are well. You look thinner and a bit pale 🤔

@@oskartheme5233 sorry Oskar. No additional information received. Simply naming a source of information, ideally with date(s) published, will do. I am numerate and have science degrees so reading papers is not a problem
Good news for who
The people that survived covid-19
Why did UA-cam change the title to fear monger?
Sounds like kitties in the background
Two of the cats kept rubbing up against my legs trying to distract me and competing for my attention while we were filming!
I have a confession to make.
I can no longer keep this a secret.
I am in love with you!

My folks got covid in Jan 22 both are 94 and dad has diabetes type 1 for 55 years. Both were fine. Hmm🤔
Vaxxed?
Actually most people are fine, nothing special. Its just because of the big numbers the health system can still be overwhelmed.
Don't even need this data, but thank you for spreading the word to those who have been fear mongered. Enough is enough!
why is the german title the other way round: „covid tödlicher als die grippe?“ which means „covid deadlier than the flu?“
My staff member who is German mentioned that as well. There is a ? at the end. The video does explain things. It's just how Google translates. Best regards.
Like for cat
Dr Moran you are not looking as good as last year, get some sunshine is my suggestion.
The IFR is not that relivant to me. I'ts the people who live and suffer from long covid who cause the most economical damage. Flu doesn't.
Thanks for commenting. I have seen many post viral syndromes including many people who have had persistent symptoms after influenza. I myself had persistent symptoms after infection with the Epstein-Barr virus in medical school and was extremely fatigued for about four months afterwards. We see this kind of thing with many different viruses. We see many people with persistent lung symptoms after other types of infectious pneumonias. It is not uncommon. Best regards to you.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran Sorry. I hadn't noticed people having long term side effects of the flu myself. I Do with covid. As I said, IFR, is not that relevant to me, with respect. Dead people don't cost money. There is an issue in my country about people, healthcare workers for instance, who got Long Covid and are unable to work. I just wanted to point out that there is more to Covid and it is not "just like the flu" in terms of economics.
@@thesaw9988 Along those lines there is more to Covid than either deaths and long-Covid. The number of people that go into ICU care for weeks (and survive) is about 2-3x the death rate from Covid.
Why might drinking Dr Pepper help with sickness. Because its called Doctor
Dr Moran are you OK? You look very pale and thin. I am concerned about you!
paid political liar...
Maybe he's afraid
It's always so great to watch when people disagree with a video, that the speaker MUST be a paid liar. Grow up, people do have differing oppinions.
Proof?
