Jeffrey A. Tucker on Covid, Lockdowns, and Herd Immunity

Chatter

Jeffrey A. Tucker, the Editorial Director at the American Institute for Economic Research was my guest on today’s show. They have been publishing a lot of material that has been highlighting the lack of evidence being produced to support the idea that lockdowns are effective at preventing the spread of covid-19. These are massive and unprecedented measures and now that we have almost a year’s worth of data to examine how effective our attempts around the world have been in dealing with the pandemic I think it is right to discuss whether these measures have been effective and proportionate. We all want the best for our individual countries and families and having a robust discussion about how we achieve that is the best way to do that. This was a really interesting and educational interview for me and I hope you will get something out of it. This episode is also the first that is available to watch on YouTube, we’ve moved to video, it’s all very exciting.
