Physician-Scientist Steven Quay Speaks to Victor Davis Hanson about lockdowns, mRNA vaccines, and the origins of the COVID virus

SEATTLE and PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Physician-Scientist Dr. Steven Quay, MD, PhD sat down again for a lengthy discussion on the evidence for the cost-benefit of the lockdowns, the real nature of mRNA vaccines, and the controversies over the origins of SARS-CoV-2 in the Wuhan China lab. The one-hour podcast can be found here.

"It is always a pleasure to speak to Victor in this conversational format on important topics of public health interest," stated Dr. Steven Quay, MD, PhD. "In this podcast we were able to explore three of the most important topics to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic:

• With the benefit of hindsight, what is the cost-benefit analysis of the draconian public health measures taken in 2020, the lockdowns, business closures, and the like?
• With the benefit of millions of doses and over two years of long-term safety and efficacy data, what have we learned about the mRNA vaccine technology?
• And given the overwhelming evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was the product of gain-of-function experimentation on a bat coronavirus backbone, where do we go from here in regulating this dangerous research?"

"As we approach the three-year anniversary of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 from China and the beginning of the worldwide pandemic that, in many ways, fundamentally changed the relationship of government and the consent of the governed, it is critical that we examine the things that were done right and the mistakes that were made," said Victor Hanson. "The prospect of a future worldwide epidemic from a laboratory experiment gone wrong that could exceed the impact of the Black Plague of the Middle Ages requires the attention of all concerned citizens."
