Carlin was a comedian, but he wasn’t alone in his thinking. Because of this fear, they sanitized everything, repeatedly washed their hands, and overcooked their food to avoid conflict with germs. Sound familiar? In “You are all Diseased,” Carlin commented on how Americans were afraid of germs. And never mind ordinary germs, what are you going to do when some super-virus comes along? So listen, if you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you’re not going to be prepared. It turns out that he might not be the only person who thinks so.īesides, what do you think you have an immune system for? It’s for killing germs! But it needs practice it needs germs to practice on. His theory was that we need to expose ourselves to bacteria to build up our immunity system’s strength. He worried that by being super clean, we were making our immune systems weak. George Carlin felt that people were too afraid of getting dirty and coming into contact with germs. Though “You are all Diseased” was recorded over 20 years ago, this section sounds like it was written for people today. It was recorded and released later that year on CD as “You Are All Diseased.” There is a section about six minutes in where he goes into the type of rant that made him famous.
On February 6th, 1999, George Carlin did a standup special in New York City.
