  • Irrational World of COVID

    Welcome to Here's One for Ya!

    In this episode, James and Matt discuss how the debate over reasonable COVID response measures in the United States became drawn along stark political lines. They cover the polarizing effect of President Trump, early errors by public health officials, the conflicting messages of political leaders, and the role of social media in stifling debate and fostering distrust.  

    They go on to discuss where the battle lines are today between the two polarized sides of the COVID response debate, including mandates on mask wearing, vaccinations, and the singular focus by many on the left upon COVID at the exclusion of all other issues.  

    Next, Matt and James try to sift through the polarization to clarify what is true regarding the pandemic response.  

    Finally, they put forth what they believe are COVID myths and what the profound implications are of the truth regarding those myths, including how worried should we be about the dramatic rise in new cases stemming from the Delta COVID variant.   

    We hope you enjoy this episode of Here’s One for Ya.
