Episode 63: Masking Children in School – Debunking the Science

David Zweig, published author and science journalist based in New York, joins the show to tackle one specific topic pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic: mask mandates for children in schools.

Chadi and David analyze the data—fleshing out all of the details and scenarios—of mask-wearing in schools in this fiery, no-holds-barred discussion that will surely ruffle some feathers.
