3/18/26 Stephen Macedo – Author In Covid’s Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us

Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee have written "One of The Wall Street Journal’s 10 Best Books of the Year," In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us.

Professor Macedo joins the show this hour and examines our pandemic response and poses some provocative questions: Why did we ignore pre-Covid plans for managing a pandemic? Were the voices of reasonable dissent treated fairly? Did we adequately consider the costs and benefits of different policy options? And, aside from vaccines, did the policies adopted work as intended?
