from The Winston Marshall Show · host Winston Marshall

Journalist and author David Zweig joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose one of the greatest scandals of our time—the catastrophic shutdown of America’s schools during COVID.Zweig reveals how faulty public health planning, political tribalism, and media malpractice led to the closure of schools for over 50 million children—causing untold harm while doing nothing to stop the virus.He dismantles the myths: no, school closures didn’t protect communities; yes, lockdowns hurt the poorest children the most. From teachers’ unions to the CDC, from Trump’s missteps to Fauci’s failures, Zweig names the names and follows the evidence.All this—Silent Lunch, the corruption of expert authority, media complicity, and the long-term damage we’re only beginning to understand...Get David's New Book: An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions HERE: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262549158-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 – School Closures and Initial Reactions02:13 – Flawed Pandemic Plans and Government Responses05:04 – The 15 Days to Slow the Spread09:04 – Flaws in the Lockdown Logic12:06 – The Harm of School Closures17:21 – Political Influence on School Closures22:04 – The Role of Teachers’ Unions and Funding28:17 – Evidence Against School Closures32:07 – The Disparities in Impact on Different Communities39:08 – The Political Blame Game45:03 – The Great Barrington Declaration51:28 – Criticisms of Public Health Measures56:04 – The Case for Vaccines1:00:11 – Accountability and Blame in Public Health Policy1:04:07 – Lessons on Decision-Making and Crisis Management Hosted on Acast.
