David Zweig

started writing for the free press, or maybe it was on my own sub stack, but I had written for the Atlantic and the New York times and New York, plenty of these types of contrarian pieces. And she said, well, where's the article? Where's it coming out? And my wife said, it may have been my, my sub stack or the free bet. She said, well, if it's not in the Atlantic, then I don't believe it.

And she said, but it's David, you, you know him, he's the same reporter. He wrote other things. And she was like, yeah, I'm not interested. It's not. So to have that like imprimatur of these certain institutions meant everything.

And, and this, the problem is the idea that like most, I think regular people, at least some of them are on particularly on the left. So all these things are like, it made intuitive sense. It's like, well, of course, if you're closed schools, all those snot nose kids, that's going to help or mask. I think maybe having something in front of my face might.

The problem is, and I give all these crazy examples through history, our intuitions are often wrong. And that happens especially within medicine. That's why we need randomized studies. That's why we need actual, like a structured, what's known as evidence-based medicine. But instead, during the pandemic, over and over...

We were just told it's basic physics that masks work, but that's not how human beings work. A child might pull it off. It doesn't stay glued to your face. They were using studies done on mannequins where the masks were glued to their face. And this is the stuff that the CDC and other people were citing as evidence that everyone needs to wear a mask.

I mean, I was, I believe, the first journalist in a mainstream publication to interview Dror Mavorak, who was the Israeli physician who initially found the signal of myocarditis in young males. And, you know, again, this is just completely radioactive. It doesn't mean that the vaccines weren't necessarily beneficial for old people and those who are vulnerable. I'm not making that statement.
