The Daily Signal - Do Masks Work? What the Data Shows
Do masks really work? Can they help contain the spread of COVID-19?
Why does some data show that mask mandates in the U.S. and other countries did not prevent surges in COVID-19 cases?
Doug Badger, a visiting fellow in domestic policy studies at The Heritage Foundation, and Norbert Michel, director of Heritage’s Center for Data Analysis, join "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss these questions and more.
We also cover these stories:
- The Trump administration announces broad changes to the plan to distribute approved COVID-19 vaccines.
- President Donald Trump stands by remarks he made at a rally before a mob breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, calling his comments "totally appropriate.”
- Trump speaks out against big social media companies after Twitter permanently bans him from its site and Facebook announces that his account is suspended at least through Inauguration Day.

This Machine Kills - 34. Let’s Get Cyber-Physical
cold open: Interview with Eden Medina on Project Cybersyn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSmQCvfT4pU
We dig into one of the most interesting and exciting experiments in socialist innovation ever attempted: Project Cybersyn in 1970s Chile. There’s much to be learned from the history of how a ragtag group of revolutionaries sought to create a cybernetic system to organize and manage a democratic socialist economy. As well as from its ultimate demise at the hands of a CIA-backed military coup. While this prototype of cybernetic democratic socialism was smothered in its cradle by authoritarian neoliberalism, the lessons gleaned from this real utopian endeavor must live on today. Cybersyn is dead, long live Cybersyn!
