An excellent podcast, which was on YouTube until they removed it. The first half is very good which looks into why people hold conspiracy theories about Covid-19, but it's the radical second half by Nafeez Ahmed which is the most interesting where he talks about the doctors who are involved with right-wing groups that advised the government to take it's present disastrous course. They were more concerned about the economy than people's lives, says Nafeez Ahmed, and put out the idea that shutdowns would kill more people than Covid would, but they ended up harming the economy more in the end. He adds that if the UK had bitten the bullet at the beginning we may have been where the Far East is today. Nafeez Ahmed - CORONAVIRUS SPECIAL: "SCAMDEMICS" AND ACADEMICS
