In a Gallup poll conducted last August, Democrats were much more likely to overestimate the COVID hospitalization risk for unvaccinated people. 

Meanwhile, Republicans were more likely to overestimate the risks associated with the vaccine and underestimate its efficacy.

So, what’s behind this COVID hysteria? How does a doctor think about the trend toward vaccine coercion? And what effect has the ACA had on healthcare?

Dr. John Hunt is a recovering pulmonologist and immunologist turned libertarian economist and coauthor of The High Ground novel series.

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, John joins me to explain why there was a pandemic of COVID-positive tests rather than a true COVID-19 pandemic and describe who he would encourage to get vaccinated—and who doesn’t really need it.

John weighs in on the real pros and cons of the mRNA vaccine, discussing why it’s unethical to coerce people to get vaccinated when there’s no proof it will generate herd immunity.

Listen in for John’s insight on the misaligned incentives of Obamacare and learn his investment strategy for betting against global fiat currency.
