Episode description

Harvard Medical School Professor MartinKulldorff on how delaying herd immunity costs lives. Gen. Flynn's forthcoming exoneration. Forbes Publisher Rich Karlgaard argues the calculation shouldn't be lives versus lives but lost days living versus lost days living. The indispensible Rusty Reno, FirstThings.com Editor, offers a COVID-19 reality check: "But I doubt that truth will guide decision-making. There is too much fear. Fear of the virus is compounded by the (reasonable) fear of experts, policy-makers, and politicians that if they change course they will be exposed as poorly informed, reckless, and cowardly. Our entire ruling class, which united behind catastrophism and the untested methods of mass shutdown, is implicated in the unfolding fiasco." Robert Goldberg from the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest on the inane U of C study suggesting some Fox News show hosts are the proximate causes of some COVID-19 deaths. Not much of an Elon Musk fan, but when he's right, he's right and he was right when he channeled his inner William Wallace. The WHO issues guidelines on trans sex education for kids 0-4 in Europe. UN Sec General takes to the NY Times op-ed pages to argue for 6 things countries and businesses must do to advance green energy and combat climate change coming out of the pandemic. And we should continue to write these organizations checks?
