This was a great discussion, it seems that even the most well intentioned public health employees don't realize how their political and ideological biases affect the way they interpret things. So one benefit of conservative voices could be to help show up these biases so they can hopefully be put to rest. Personally I believe that individuals should be offered timely, relevant, impartial information on the benefits and risks of eg. covid vaccination, then left to apply it to their own circumstances and their decision respected. If this appears to fail then then one step to take is to listen very carefully and non judgmentally as possible as to their reasons why, try to find some common ground, and learn from the success stories! Many thanks for making these podcasts, they're very much appreciated.
Milton Friedman went to University of Chicago to stay out of the intellectual bubble of New York and Washington DC. Apparently, the bubble is now at the University of Chicago. So sad.

Even this 'lone voice of reason' gentleman in the lower left still seems a little too eager to call people racist.
