During a recent episode of Dr. Phil Primetime, viewers were provided a dose of reality regarding the complete failure of health “experts” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“You hear people say, ‘Well, we did the best we could with what we knew.’ No, they did not,” Dr. Phil said. “They knew better. And if they didn’t know better, they damn well should have known better. That’s what they’re paid to do.”

Explaining he’s “not some conspiracy theorist,” Dr. Phil noted, “I’m saying we need to think about whether we’re going to rely on science and how we’re going to react when the government comes in and starts telling us what we can and can’t do. I think we need less government. I think if they would step back, we tend to have a way to work these things out.”
