EP 89: A Big Fail: How America Got The Pandemic Response So Wrong

As much as we all want to move on from COVID, there are so many important lessons we need to learn from the many failures of the US response and fixing things for the future. 

Two award-winning journalists are out with a new book, The Big Fail, that examines how the U.S. so badly bungled the pandemic and the lessons learned. 

Co-author Bethany McLean joins Mosheh and breaks down what their reporting found. The book is critical of the left and the right, including Fauci, Trump, Newsom, DeSantis, the CDC, the teachers’ union—pretty much everyone. The book runs the numbers and the final assessment on masks, the vaccine, school closures, the lockdowns that challenge conservative and liberal thinking four years later.
