NOW WITH PATRONS at Patreon.com/ThePopularPod. The amazing sequel to our Christmas 2021 HARMS OF LOCKDOWN miniseries. TPS would like to thank Collateral Global for their support for TPS COVID CRITICAL.
TPS125 WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA DO WE WANT? | Jenin Younes
Litigation Counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance Jenin Younes  returns to TPS to discuss the merging of the State and social media  companies during COVID. Jenin describes the fallout of her NCLA case  against the US government for intervening in the banning of COVID  critical Twitter accounts, the deposition of Anthony Fauci, and  speculates about Elon Musk's skin is in the game.
TPS126 CORPORATE COVIDIANS | Jennifer Sey
A view from the corporate offices is provided by Jennifer Sey, Brand  President and prospective CEO of Levi's, until her opposition to school  closures during COVID cost her her job. Jennifer discusses how Levi's  'woke capitalism' blended seamlessly with its siding with maximalist  COVID measures, how the US upper class sees education, and the  generational dynamic in the corporate world's attitude to social justice  today.
TPS127 NHS AFTER COVID | Robert Freudenthal
NHS psychiatrist Robert Freudenthal returns to TPS to discuss how  misconceptions about the structure of the NHS cause us to misread the  dynamics both of the NHS during COVID and the NHS strikes of winter  2022. Robert gives an inside view of how medical practitioners view  their work, and how it caused much of their leadership to miss the  significance of the relationship between medicine and power that was so  expanded during COVID.
TPS128 WHY ARE WE SICK? | Sunetra Gupta
Oxford epidemiologist and Great Barrington Declaration author Sunetra  Gupta returns to TPS to discuss the 'immunity debt' hypothesis that the  long impact of lockdown is making us sick now, the return of Strep  A/Scarlet Fever as a killer in Britain, and whether US cities are right  to demand a return to public masking. Sunetra speaks candidly about  advising Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak and about how COVID could have  been different with the principles of Jeremy Corbyn's 2019 manifesto.
TPS129 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME? | Jay Bhattacharya
Stanford Professor of Medicine and Great Barrington Declaration co-author Jay Bhattacharya joins TPS for a wide-ranging discussion of the lockdown debate, the mistakes in our vaccine policy, the false lessons being drawn from the COVID-19 pandemic, and how to avoid falling prey to the same top-down approaches in the next one.
TPS130 LESSONS FROM THE TRUCKERS | Gord Magill
Trucker Gord Magill returns to TPS to reflect on the most novel form of resistance thrown out by the COVID-19 pandemic: the Canada Truckers convoy against vaccine mandates. James and Gord discuss Justin Trudeau's invocation of emergency powers against the truckers, the failure of the left and the unions to respond adequately, and the alternative to 'from above' legalistic approaches to COVID overreach that have come to dominate the COVID critical position in recent months.
