On this episode, Ethan speaks with AIER Senior Research Faculty/Director of Research and Educational Programs Phil Magness and Research Fellow Michael Makovi to discuss their academic paper on the efficacy of lockdown policies.

The discussion covers the justifications behind non-pharmaceutical interventions, commonly referred to as lockdowns, their effects, and flaws in policy implementation. Phil and Michael explain the methodology in their paper, how their study compares to others, and why they conclude that lockdowns had no significant role in preventing excess deaths. The conversation ends by discussing the dangers of combining politics with science. Finally, the guests give their thoughts on how concerned citizens can push back against future attempts to politicize the truth.
