David Zweig, investigative journalist and author, joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss his new book “An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions”
Zweig spoke about the failures of public policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially its impact on children after school closures and how elected officials, the medical establishment working with government and the teachers unions failed their students. Zweig explained how closing schools during the pandemic was the most catastrophic consequence of the interventions and it’s impact is still affecting kids to this day. Zweig pointed out that during the early days of the pandemic, the EU opened schools and with millions of students back, there was no negative consequences on the community. Zweig stressed it was not just on kids, but also no increased transmission to teachers and everyone else in the community after schools opened. Zweig took the media to task for not reporting on no negative consequences on the millions of children returning to school in the EU. The failures according to Zweig all comes back to journalists not fulfilling their most basic duty of asking questions and being skeptical of those in power.
