Summary

"We have to ask ourselves the question: what role does viral load play, because the amount of virus you get exposed to matters. The Covid-19 is not like a game of tag where if a Covid-19 particle touches you you're it..." 🗣 Today I talk with Minnesota State Senator and Dr. Scott Jensen, family physician and teaching professor at the University of Minnesota for over 30 years. He talks about how effective masks are (spoiler alert: they're not!), and we discuss how political leaders make policy decisions without science and how the unintended consequences of lockdown, while difficult to measure, are just as real.

0:51.6	But the guy who wrote it was a friend of mine and he was a supporter of mine and I know him personally and I think he's I think highly of him. But anyway he writes this article to a lot of what you're talking about and in the article the way you put it on together on the internet was
