George Carlin died in 2008. The video was uploaded to Youtube in 2011. ;)

Anyway he's got a point. Surprised? Well it's to some degree true what he says. It's just that some Germs overpower a lot of immune systems like the Spanish flue did in a time when no one used hand sanitizers or showered every day. ;)
COVID is the same as some people only get minor symptoms while others get serious health problems and/or even die. A strong immune system surely helps but not everyone has one and we shouldn't risk those people dying.

I've seen this plenty of times and George is right.

And  yes I know Carlin is gone, but he sure has left some good lessons and "mind opening" thinking....

Love his video on "our Stuff".....boy is he right on.

Not 100% though. If the over sanitizing would be the cause for immune weakness against Polio or Covid 19 there wouldn't be many cases in countries like India or Afghanistan. Yet India has high Covid numbers and Polio is making a comeback in Afghanistan.
