Episode 20: The Failure of Mask Mandates, Public Health and Central Planning with John Tierney, Former New York Times Science Writer, Author and Contributing Editor at City Journal
Listen now | The latest podcast episode is a fascinating conversation with John Tierney from City Journal discussing his fantastic work documenting the lack of justification for vaccine mandates for kids, the failures of Dr. Fauci and Deborah Birx, and society's addiction to crisis.
Really hope the Crisis Industrial Complex loses a bit of its critical mass for reasons discussed here. I'll definitely need to check out The Power of Bad!
So sad I will miss this due to the SW failure. Looks like it would be wonderful. Better software? Thanks for all you do, Ian. It is really important work.
First off, I've always enjoyed Tierney's work going back to his expose on recycling a number of years ago. I have a question though about the source or origins of how masks came to be accepted. I found it odd how decades' worth of studies was suddenly shunned and ignored in 2020. What was even more bizarre is that public health officials, in the beginning, said the right things about masks and were following the actual science and data (including here in Canada). Yet, but a month later they reversed and changed course. Unless the body of evidence was overt turned in a few weeks (yeh right), what could possibly have been the catalyst?
I've been researching masks and reading up on it since 2020 (and plan to read Ian's book) and one name that kept popping up in the fervently pro-mask camp was Jeremy Howard. Does anyone know anything about him? His name seems to be on most of the studies supporting masks so I found this peculiar.
Tierney is a national treasure. Thanks for featuring him and his work.

Fun fact, there was an entire TV show about how experts can go horribly wrong that I recently wrote about.
Yet people haven't thought it through how experts are just as fallible as any other human.
