What Then Must We Do?

I ask economics professor and columnist Don Boudreaux what the Hell is going on. He doesn't know either. We commiserate.

I speak with unschooling mom and homeschooling advocate Kerry McDonald about an upcoming 4-day webinar to help inspire teens' inner entrepreneurs – and about why it is more critical than ever that we encourage our teens to find ways to create and to contribute now.

We also talk about Halloween...

FEE's "Entrepreneur Week" is Nov. 16-19, and is FREE. You can sign up here.

I spoke with California legislator Kevin Kiley this week, about his (and fellow legislator James Gallagher's)  lawsuit against Governor Newsom's authoritarian orders, and his one-man rule.

You can see Kiley's opening arguments in the case here.

And his blog, with updates on the lawsuit, is here.

I speak with retired scientist Roger Koops, about the nature of viruses and how flawed assumptions about they operate in the natural world have driven mask recommendations and mandates that may do more harm than good.

We also talk a little about how people in Japan have responded to the virus, and how the national and local governments have reacted.

Roger Koops is a contributing author for AIER, and is also a retired scientist, with a PhD in chemistry and over 25 years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. He has authored or co-authored several papers on pharmaceutical technology and chemistry.

His article, "The Year of Disguises" is here.

I speak with founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan, about some of the problems with PCR testing, as well as some of the incentives to produce high positive test numbers, both of which are making it difficult to get a meaningful picture of SARS-Cov2 infections and cases.

You can find Kevin  on Twitter, and he recently Tweeted about some of these issues here.

The paper on molecular mimicry that he mentions is here.

The CMS document that spells out penalties for failure to report positive test results is here (p.5)

And the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization summary for the Roche qPCR test is here.

My previous episodes with Kevin are here and here.

I speak with Swedish ER doctor Sebastian Rushworth, about the workings of the immune system and Covid-19. Among other insights: The media (and much of research) focuses on antibodies, but T-cell immunity may be better suited to viral infections; antibodies always wane over time, this is nothing new; the evidence shows that the lockdowns have had no effect on transmission; as the data piles up, it is becoming clear that Covid-19 is indeed very much like a bad flu virus in terms of deaths. Oh, and Sweden is back to normal and we all should be too.

You can read Dr. Rushworth's blog here.

And the article I mentioned, "Herd Immunity Without Antibodies?" is here.

I speak with independent journalist Jeremy Hammond about the problems of central planning and why it always leads to disastrous outcomes - even in the realm of public health.

We also talk about why it is more important than ever to develop the skill of consuming news intelligently.

You can find Jeremy's writing on topics from the middle east to vaccine safety and the responses to Covid-19, here.

I speak with Jeffrey Tucker of the American Institute of Ecomonic Research, about the Great Barrington Declaration - the document created by four esteemed scientists, calling for an end to the lockdowns. Jeff talks about how the idea came about, and about some of the backlash they have faced since the Declaration was released.

You can read–and sign–the Great Barrington Declaration here.

You can watch the video about the Declaration here.

See coverage of some of the attacks on the Declaration here, here, and here.

...and witness Jeff demolish one pro-lockdown talking head, here.

I speak again with Sara Brady, the Idaho mom who was arrested for being on a playground.

I spoke with Sara back in May, not long after she had been arrested for "trespassing" in a public park. In this interview, we talk about what is next for her case, and about what each one of us must do if we value our own liberty and a free society.

You can purchase one of Sara's Freedom Masks by emailing her: [email protected]
