Excerpt - Richard Seymour on the lockdown files

Politics Theory Other

Richard Seymour returns to respond to listener's questions on the recent episode on the so-called lockdown sceptics. We talked about the leaking of former UK health secretary Matt Hancock's pandemic whatsapp messages, and whether they vindicate the arguments of lockdown critics such as Isabel Oakeshott. Amongst the other excellent questions sent in, Richard responded regarding the the widely cited Cochrane study that challenged the efficacy of mask wearing, the motivation of self described socialists who are apparently comfortable aligning themselves with the libertarian right, and also the US department of energy's recent statement on the lab leak theory of Covid19's origins.
