Kyle Warner's First Ride Back! 23

We finally made it back on the bike! It felt so amazing being able to ride again and we are so glad we could bring you along for the journey! I was having a few issues with my GoPro early on, so sorry if there is any weird shakiness, it got better by the end.

Thank you guys so much! It’s been a crazy journey. Excited to catch up with you in a couple weeks for a podcast Spomer! Hopefully I can share a little more about the emotional side of this whole ordeal. I think there has been some confusion on my “stance” about the whole thing and I’m excited to clear that up as well. At the end of the day I’m just grateful to get a second chance at life and be able to get back on two wheels. It was really scary for a while there but it’s been great to feel my health returning and being able to help others get theirs back as well. You guys rock ❤️

Sincerely glad that you're healthy and able to start a return back to the sport and career you love.

That doesn't diminish how you've amplified anti-public health views through your association and tacit (sometimes explicit) approval of cranks like Robert Malone and RFK Jr.

The notion that you don't have a particular stance isn't supported by the podcasts you've been on and the company you've been keeping since last year.

I wish you well and hope that you're able to live a healthy and full life.

I have to separate my desire for a positive outcome for you and others with how much I disagree with the negative public health impacts of your advocacy, which has inadvertently employed several logical fallacies and leaps of logic to color the COVID-19 vaccine as dangerous - whether or not that is or was your intention.

I had a relative who was negatively impacted by a polio vaccine in a significant and life-altering way. That doesn't mean I understand your situation, but I do know that having negative effects from a vaccine doesn't mean one has to eschew the benefits of the vaccine across an entire population.

This is all easy for me to say, of course. At the same time, I feel the negative impact that your messaging has had on others hasn't been adequately discussed, and you certainly have left plenty of room for people to equivocate on your position.

Hey Jimmy, hopefully you will give a full interview a chance. I have only done interviews with Dr John Campbell (vaccinated/pro vaccine), Dr Drew Pinsky ( vaccinated / pro vaccine), Megyn Kelly ( Vaccinated/ pro vaccine ) and one interview with a man named Aubrey Marcus who is unvaccinated but owns a health company called ONNIT and is just genuinely curious about what’s going on. For that one interview with an unvaccinated host we brought our own Phd from UCSF who has several patents with MRNA technology and is pro vaccine. I also testified in senate twice, with scientists, doctors and nurses from all of the country and world. I do try really hard to maintain a balanced view of the whole thing and have been booed several times by people who are fully anti vax for saying that the vaccines on whole are a good tool to fight the pandemic. I understand how some people can accuse me of creating hesitancy, I really do see your point. I just also know that what the government has done with leaving people out to dry and giving the corporation’s complete immunity is unequivocally wrong. That’s what I was fighting for, for all the families that have had their lives ripped apart and are just told to stay quiet and deal with it. You are right, I have received some medical help and assistance from “fringe” doctors like Malone, Patterson, Cole, and FLCCC but only after my attempts to get my health back with my primary care physician resulted in her having to put her medical license on the line to go to bat for me. She wasn’t even able to write me an exemption for the boosters due to the restraints around current St Alphonsus policy. This whole situation is so jacked up on so many levels and I do sincerely understand your feelings towards me. I just know that most people in my shoes would have done the same thing or would have been wishing that someone would stand up and be a voice. I get dozens of messages a day from people and families thanking me for giving them hope, or helping them find treatments, or even just thanking me for helping them feel not so alone on their journey.

I really do appreciate your well wishes and I hope we can meet in person some day, I’m happy to listen to opposing view points and if you have some constructive criticism about what I should or could do different in the future I would love to hear your opinion. My personal email is kwarnermtb@gmail.com . Feel free to shoot me a message. I’m always trying to learn more and improve. Trust me, this has been such a difficult thing to navigate and doing it all while trying to get healthy and find some doctors who could help was an absolute shit show. I’m sure I made some mistakes along the way but I am proud for the contributions I was able to make in getting people help.

Kyle glad you're back riding! Keep sharing your truth and don't listen to people who couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel

Welcome back, glad you're ok.
Aubrey Marcus is also the "inventor" of the FleshLight. Referring to ONNIT as a "health company" is like calling the FleshLight a "fitness device"

He’s actually not, his mom was. He worked there. His dad was one of the most successful oil traders in Texas history. He used seed money to start Onnit with Bode Miller and Joe Rogan. The have a really great workout app and have helped 10’s of thousands of people live a healthier lifestyle. I lived in Austin for two winters and trained at the gym. Really nice people. A little far into the psychedelic world for me personally but super kind hearted people.

Some people look at things through their own lens whatever that may be and forget the fact that at the end of the day a human being was injured. Don’t let the kooks ☝🏻get you down Kyle. We all love you bro. Can’t wait to do a couple laps with you.

@jimmypop - Been using vital forever now and never needed to make an account. But you single handedly by posting the dumbest comment I have ever read on here forced me to get one so I can come on here to tell you that you are whole heartedly a gigantic idiot. He's not pushing anything and is sharing how he's been affected by a vaccine. So I hope you have a great day - EDITED by sspomer - tinman111, keep it civil. no need for f bombs

You do realize that insurance companies are considering very strongly not covering vaccine deaths now? A french court just ruled against a family who had a love one who died and it was registered as a VAERS death. No life insurance and the court ruled it suicide.
Life Ins companies and funeral companies are reporting up to 40% increase in deaths in the very safe 25-49 demo. Wonder why?
Over 400 pro athlete deaths since the Vax was forced on the world . Most were soccer players as they are probably the most cardio intense of any sport. Many very young basketball players here in US dropping dead, all heart related myocarditis.
My family will never get another vax period. Medicine and Science are forever responsible for what will go down as genocide. Those involved will be held responsible.

Why couldn't he ride? What happened? Aren't they riding Ebikes? Not exactly MTB riding.

For real though…7 months later and this is the first article about him at all on an MTB website. His MTB presence is what gave him a platform in the first place to help thousands of other people in a completely different situation. Not sure why that couldn’t be openly discussed, you know, on mtb websites. MTB “influencer” uses his influence for good instead of self promotion. Was waiting and hoping for an Inside Line episode, guess I’ll keep waiting and hoping one eventually comes. This was a big day for Kyle, so happy to see him back on a bike.

Glad to hear. Figured you being in the area, it had to have come up, the complete silence had me questioning though. Beigebike made some sense as they were finalizing with O right around the start of this. Excited to hear it! Kyle’s way of speaking about this is one of the calmest and most unifying voices to have in todays climate.

Please ask him about Robert Malone.

Kyle's situation is tragic, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he's been used by the anti-vaccination fringe to spread misinformation.

Will you offer a medical doctor a chance to respond to any of the claims Kyle, a bicycle rider, makes regarding public health and vaccines?

Kyle's personal story is emotional and compelling.

That he's been used by a fringe movement and to further their dangerous cause is disgusting.

While I agree that e bikes are not mountain bikes, this is probably not the best place to have this argument.

Glad Kyle is to this point in his recovery!
