Just a quick note: This week’s podcast interview was 2 hours long, and amazing all the way through. It was edited significantly to make the podcast episode a more palatable length (and, it’s still a 2-hour show!). For the FULL interview, we highly suggest you check it out on our YouTube channel.

The information you are hearing from your religious, business and/or political leaders

about the deadly viral pandemic

may or may not represent the actual evidence based understanding

of scientists and medical researchers who…

Know what the expletive they are talking about.

If viruses could be prayed away,

the pandemic would be over by now

If political will, sticking to your guns against popular opinion could persuade a virus

The pandemic would be over by now

If pool parties, getting back into the office and reopened restaurants was intimidating to a virus

The pandemic would be over by now

If we just took science seriously, if we just acted a little sooner or waited at home a little longer

The pandemic could be over by now

But instead

we may as well await the ringing of a bell and the voice from the street calling out…

Bring out your dead… bring out your dead

The only thing that may yet save us from the fate of death by ignorant and powers that be?
