This is a really well constructed interview I did with @JanJekielek, with various news clippings interspersed in the video.
🚨The COVID-19 pandemic was a world-altering event in which older people were favored to the detriment of children. There’s one journalist who has chronicled this sacrifice of children since the beginning: @davidzweig 00:44 - The Failure of Pandemic Decision-Making 02:41 - https://t.co/NK3c8gqeJx
“In every epidemiological decision there are philosophical decisions that go along with it”—@BenedictBeckeld This is a fundamental truth noted by Beckeld—a brilliant philosopher I’ve had the good fortune of speaking with—that our “experts” and politicians pretended was untrue.
