Fantastic interview indeed! I do have to say: How did you miss this March 2020 Fauci interview? It is a classic, and belongs in a time capsule.

SIZE MATTERS!!! Why should there be any debate? The “virus” is too small to be contained by a mask— it easily slips through. Why is this not acknowledged as a FACT???

Despite my lack of research I do believe in masks. They have been used for years in hospitals in Australia. Farmers use them when spraying chemicals. If nothing else they are a continual reminder to be very careful with chemicals and with social distancing with viruses, and thst might well be the reason I have not yet succumbed to covid or chemical damage.

Nobody should "believe" in anything when there is science to tell us what is true or not true. Masks were first used over a century ago by surgeons to stop infecting patient wounds with bacteria. Very different question from using them to stop viruses, for which there is no good evidence.

I really enjoyed this interview. Great to hear the voices of people I enjoy reading.

Is there a way to download the interview to a computer? I can't watch podcasts on a screen, my eyes start glazing over within minutes and I end up taking an unexpected nap. ZZZzzzZZZzzz...

What I do is to download MP3 files, or if a podcast is on video only, I'll download that and strip the video portion to make it audio-only. Virtually all of my podcast listening is done in the shower (that is, while I'm doing something else that doesn't require much focus so that I can concentrate on the podcast).

To listen to this, I opened it up on my iPhone in a browser, put my phone in my pocket, and listened while I was walking around cleaning up and making dinner.

You might have written about it, and I'll have to catch up on your articles and the research these days, but what's the motive and source behind the mask propaganda? Thanks!

As we discuss, nobody seems to understand why liberals lined up behind masks. It just happened.
