In this episode, Barry Farah lays out how the government response to COVID over the last year was a “manage to safety” versus a “manage to freedom” approach. He reviews how government-made decisions based on data that didn’t prove true, including preparation of an inordinate number of hospital beds that were never used. He details the silenced but respected scientific voices in regard to lockdowns, school closures and masks, and the suppressed toll taken on the mental and physical health of Americans as a result. Barry Farah spells out what it would look like if the government had informed and warned when it came to COVID versus denying people’s individual liberty, the negative social impact of Stassi-style shaming, blaming over masks and more.
