Panelists: Max Blumenthal, Christian Parenti

Description: An exploration of the Covid propaganda from March 2020 to the present day; how the official Covid Narrative is unraveling (or not), the left’s support for authoritarianism, democratic societies’ descent towards authoritarianism, the rapid adoption of digital tech under the guise of public health, inequities created by Covid, capitalism and the wealth disparity, the psychology behind conformity, the conflation of ‘freedom’ and far-right beliefs, the state of health care, and more.

re: China's COVID-19 policies: as Eric Li says, "the biggest difference in the political systems between China and U.S. is:

In China, you can't change the party but you can change policies."

Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibi's recent article stating Ben HU was the first cvd patient, should be read with skepticism - because we have evidence of prior circulation before his infection.
progenitor hypothesis (example: Amendola et al Dec 2022. possible circulation in Lombardy italy in June 2019).
the origin of scv2 is not the wet market. it's a lab leak - but the issue is WHEN.

by the way, September 12, 2019: the WIV deleted the public database with 20, 000 viral sequences. why?

age adjusted mortality - Sweden did better than australia. Sweden's males did not do better than NZ males, but Sweden's females did better than NZ females (confounder: sweden has large male immigrants - and they were the ones who died the most in sweden.)
