Summary

A new study out of Johns Hopkins University showed that mandated lockdowns put in place during the first wave of COVID-19 only reduced the coronavirus mortality rate by 0.2%, while it brought consequences for Americans in regard to the economy, education system and more. Professor of Surgery and Health Policy at Johns Hopkins and Fox News Medical Contributor, Dr. Marty Makary joins to discuss whether the COVID-19 lockdown orders have a substantial impact on curbing rising infections and deaths within the U.S., what lessons we have learned to prepare us for the next pandemic and why there should be a better strategy on COVID-19 boosters to focus on providing access to those with comorbidities. As athletes prepare to head to Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the FBI has strongly urged them to pack a burner phone in their suitcase. Security concerns developed as China required competitors to download the 'My 2022' app to monitor their health during their trip. Earlier this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that China presents a larger security threat to the U.S. than any other country. Mike Baker, a former CIA covert operations officer, and CEO of Portman Square Group, discusses precautions visitors to China must take to ensure cyber safety, reasons for China's repeated cyberattacks, and the U.S. role in human rights boycotts. Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
