Safety Theater: Masks, Models and the Media

If you are sensitive to politics / political figures / racial politics – Feel free to skip this episode! In this media examination we focus on the confusing narrative the American media presented for masks. We examine a white paper from a group called SAGE detailing how to use the media to shift social behaviors. We also talk about leaked models that were wildly incorrect and the lasting implications of this misleading information.
