The fact that Marc Cuban is even in a conversation about anything COVID-19 or COVID-19 shots at this point, after the epic failure from top to bottom, shows he is clearly, without a shadow of doubt, a paid shill. Literally paid to take these stances and save face of whatever fave is left of the epic failure of the Covid shots — that never were designed to stop infection or transmission, and we’re never even close to being safe or effective. And no math supports otherwise.

You couldn’t fill a thimble with what Cuban knows about medicine.

Mark Cuban is a moron.

Rav, you’ve learned a valuable lesson.

NEVER get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

I disagree. Engaging with people you vehemently disagree with is critical. I think the debate speaks for itself.

I agree, that engaging in a question answer session with Cuban, led by someone like you who has broad public exposer is important. By just allowing Cuban to speak, to a large audience, revealed what a shallow thinker Cuban is.

Mark Cuban versus Jay Bhattacharya is like a dunking contest between the comedian Kevin Hart, who is hilarious but diminutive, and Michael Jordan. Mr. Cuban has a dangerously huge ego, money will do that, but he is now making himself look silly and FOOLISH. I doubt the very smart and accomplished JB would challenge Mr. Cuban in the business world and suggest MC keep out of science, especially epidemiology.

Cuban has not done any critical thinking nor research. He is "dug in", deaf and blind. When did he develop A-fib? I have many vaxxed friends who suddenly developed afib, clots, CJD, died suddenly etc after their jabs, but like Cuban, most are still blind, even after ablation and hospitals and a changed diminished life. Astonishing to me.

Cuban has been steadfast in his Everyone-Must-Get-Vaccinated stance throughout this scamdemic campaign; he’s an acolyte at the altar of Big Pharma. The question is WHY?

Presumably he’s a smart guy, knows how to build great wealth, but knows jack about vaccines; denies actual science. That’s dangerous in the hands of influencers like him. Like other commenters here, I suspect he has some important $take in $hilliing for Pharma. Either that or he just has a terrible blind spot.

“ that by late 2021, the science no longer supported mass vaccination for the young and healthy.”

.

Importantly, even if the “science” did support mass vaccination for the young and healthy, it would nevertheless still be grossly unethical—evil actually—for the government (comprising either the interests of the national security state, Big Pharma, or even a mob of germaphobes, or some combination of all three) to mandate a medical intervention to that end. Remember, the failure of the Covid response was first and foremost a failure of ethics or morality. The ethical theories of utilitarianism and altruism that were behind the mandates (and continue to be behind childhood vaccination schedules) are evil. The Declaration of Independence does not say that we have a right to demand that someone else pursue our life, liberty, and happiness (including health) on our behalf; yet that is the type of collectivistic reasoning behind the “vaccine” mandates that were, sadly, championed by majorities of Americans. The fallout from such foolishness has not been good, but it is just. You can deny reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of denying reality.

.

Seek Objectivism. Learn it. Practice it. Teach it.

Interesting perspective. Thanks for articulating so cogently.

Cuban dismisses science that doesn't conform to his narrative? Color me shocked.

Cuban, that’s some real collectivism thinking on display. Remember collectivism can land at both ends of political ideology. The idea of individualism is toxic to any of rhetorical global policy wonks and those that are funding that initiative.

One more point. When Marc was talking about unknown co-morbidities, the statistic you had quoted about the risk of death in the young population without co-morbidities actually included all the people who didn't know they had co-morbidities. Undiagnosed illnesses don't get counted...

To a battle of wits, Cuban routinely comes unarmed. Your recent debate with him is no exception.
