Join the Whiskey Bench for another episode of News and Brews. It's not the first time Kat and Torna have talked about COVID, and it won't be the last. For years countless credible doctor, institution, and individuals had been arguing that natural immunity was robust, and masks were not as effective as gov. officials were leading you to believe. As more and more data are being released the public, the mainstream views on masking and natural immunity are shifting. The once conspirators are proved right again. The Bench also goes down the rabbit hole of Norfolk Southern after the events in East Palestine, OH. Torna follows the money, and dives into the mindboggling connection between Norfolk, Blackrock, Vanguard, US Gov, Ukraine, and media.
