#15 Science vs Pandemic Policies

What are the lessons from the first 15 months of pandemic policies vs science? Was science the reason that we discarded lab origin theories before now exploring them? Were policies like lockdowns justified? And why aren't we paying more attention to anti viral therapies like Ivermectin during a pandemic? Why aren't we talking about the "syndemic" within the pandemic? I discuss these questions and more in this short podcast.
