Mortality on the Joe Rogan Experience

“Of the 800,000 deaths that we have right now, I can tell you they've received either no or inadequate early treatment. All of them.”

McCullough asserts that essentially all (implying nearly 100%) of roughly 800,000 US COVID deaths at the time resulted from no or inadequate early outpatient treatment.

“You know, and Marty Makary talks about this, like I certainly didn't learn that medical error and medication is the third leading cause of death in the United …”

Casey Means claims medical error and medication is the third leading cause of death in the United States.

“No meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and or prospective cohort studies, those are observational studies, has found any significant difference for d…”

Kresser states that no meta-analysis of randomized trials or cohort studies has found any significant link between dietary fat interventions and all-cause or heart-disease mortality.

“That's been shown four to seven times a week, 40% lower all-cause mortality. Cardiovascular-related mortality is 50% lower.”

Patrick claims sauna use 4-7 times per week is associated with 40% lower all-cause mortality and 50% lower cardiovascular mortality.

“people with the highest omega-3 index, again, it was in that 7% range. And this was not statistically significant. It was because there was a small sample size…”

A small pilot study (about 100 people) by Dr. Bill Harris found a 75% reduction in COVID-19 mortality among people with the highest omega-3 index, though the result was not statistically significant.

“they were 17% less likely to die prematurely of all causes, including accidents”

A cohort study of omega-3 index found people in the high range (>7%) were 17% more likely to die prematurely from all causes, including accidents, compared to the low range (<4%) -- as described, this appears to have the direction reversed.

“And Dr. Verone had much better success than most other doctors. His overall success rate was 4.4 percent of his patients died, whereas in other hospitals, aver…”

Bowden claims Dr. Joseph Varon's COVID patient death rate was 4.4 percent versus an average around 20 percent in other hospitals.

“We're dying three times at a higher rate than the Japanese per capita. That's 16% of all COVID deaths are in the U.S. and we're like 4% of the population.”

Calley Means claims the US accounted for 16 percent of all COVID deaths while comprising about 4 percent of the world population, dying at three times the per capita rate of Japan.

“Of course, we've got heart disease, which is almost totally preventable as the leading cause of death in the United States, killing around 800,000 people per y…”

Casey Means states that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing around 800,000 people per year, and is almost totally preventable.

“Life expectancy has gone down, actually. Whoops. Whoops. Despite all the vaccines.”

Bowden claims US life expectancy has gone down.

“Incidence rate is 1 in 2,700. Now, there's all kinds of hand-waving that, oh, myocarditis is mild, and they recover from it, okay? Those statements aren't, let…”

Malone claims the historic death rate following myocarditis is about 27%, implying post-vaccination myocarditis in boys carries similarly high mortality risk.

“there's good modeling studies that probably half a million excess deaths have happened in the United States through the intentional blockade of early treatment…”

Malone claims modeling studies show roughly half a million excess U.S. deaths resulted from the government's intentional blockade of early COVID treatments (hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin).

“Now there's, as I said, over time, there will be deaths associated. Remember we talked about the difference between causal and association? Yeah. Okay. And als…”

Malone claims 95% of people who died from COVID had an average of four comorbidities.

“we know from South Africa for sure that Omicron, and the WHO made the statement there are no known deaths associated with Omicron in the world. Now, there may …”

Malone claims the WHO stated there were no known deaths worldwide associated with the Omicron variant at the time.

“A good example was Colin Powell. Colin Powell just died recently. He was in his 80s. He was fully vaccinated, and he died of multiple myeloma, but he was also …”

McCullough cites Colin Powell's COVID-19 death as an example of death misattributed to COVID-19 when it was really caused by his underlying multiple myeloma.

“there's been studies showing that people that do strength training like they have a 23% lower all cause mortality and like a 30% lower cancer related mortality…”

Rhonda Patrick claims strength training is associated with a 23% lower all-cause mortality and 30% lower cancer-related mortality, independent of other health factors.

“So regardless, the mortality of Omicron is remarkably low. I think we can all agree on that. It's essentially like a cold.”

Malone claims Omicron's mortality is remarkably low and that it is essentially equivalent to a common cold.
