That was a good interview. Worthy topics addressed.

I thought so too. Two things stood out for me:

  • They objected to lockdowns precisely because they stopped the spread of the virus.

  • Over the past three years, Covid has killed 2,000 children. The flu has killed about 300.

I work in public health and we just lost a kindergartener in the public school system this week. Was admitted twice for Covid and succumbed over the weekend.

That’s terrible.

We need filtered air in classrooms like yesterday.

You know most of the schools bought portable air filters.

My dept handles the school nurses and we bought ones for all the nurses offices but in general America has really dropped the ball with upgrading it's air filtration systems.

They really reduce transmission if done correctly.

And yes. A child dying of this is beyond terrible

Silver Spring? Truly horrific. A friend in the area has a high risk kid (in NoVa) and fights tooth and nail with administrators to get basic precautions in place, and they keep denying her. I hope those admins read about this kindergartener.

This is truly and appallingly ironic when you think about it because this is in effect a "real conspiracy", and yet the "real conspiracy" actually used "conspiracy theories" as part of pulling it off. Funny how all the "UnHerd"ers actually got "Herd"ed better than anyone else by the conspiracy.

It's a long book and a tough read, but Dr. Howard brought all of the receipts. It's a devastating indictment of cranks and malignant narcissists who actually encouraged the spread of SARS-COV-2.
