The Daily Signal - The Facts About COVID-19 That Legacy Media Won’t Tell You

Do lockdowns work? Do masks? What have we learned about what government actions help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and which don't?

As public health officials and the media sound the alarm about the omicron variant of COVID-19, the answers to those questions are crucial.

Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter and author of the new book "Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives," joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to answer all those questions and more, drawing on data from various states and countries. Berenson also unpacks the damage caused by some measures taken against COVID-19.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Biden administration is preparing to reinstate the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy for migrants seeking asylum. 
  • The administration announces new measures to control COVID-19 on the heels of the first confirmed U.S. infection involving the omicron variant.
  • A Massachusetts teacher sues her former principal and superintendent after being fired for posting videos on TikTok voicing opposition to critical race theory and gender identity ideology.
