Podcasts about lockdowns

In today's show, I look at three pressure points converging at once: a renewed push to revive pandemic-era controls as masks, mandates, and unanswered conflicts of interest re-enter the public conversation; a growing confrontation between Elon Musk and European authorities over censorship, fines, and who gets to decide what speech is permissible online; and mounting questions around Ukraine, as corruption allegations, financial accountability, and Western political narratives collide around Zelensky's leadership. Taken together, these stories reveal a wider pattern of institutional power being reasserted — through public health, digital regulation, and foreign war — and raise uncomfortable questions about trust, transparency, and who ultimately pays the price.

In dieser Mini-Folge nehmen Esther Narbeshuber und ihr virtueller Co-Host Maja dich mit hinter die Kulissen von 10 Jahren Mindlead Institut: vom ersten Schreibtisch in Salzburg über gekippte Deals bis zu dem Moment, als während des ersten Lockdowns alles abgesagt wurde – und sich dann doch das beste Jahr anbahnte, weil plötzlich alle bereit für Online waren. Ein Falco-Song im Radio („Vienna Calling“) wird zum Zeichen, dranzubleiben. Außerdem: Ein globales Projekt mit 1.000 Talenten rund um den Globus, kulturelle Feinheiten im Trainingsteam und die jährlichen Community-Treffen mit hochkarätigen Gästen. Am Ende steht eine einfache Einsicht: Erfolg ist weniger das, was außen glänzt – sondern das, was dich innen zum Leuchten bringt. ***

Auch nach dem Enquete-DesasterNach dem ultrapeinlichen Auftritt des Virologen Christian Drosten vor der Enquete-Kommission versuchen Mainstream-Medien seinen Ruf zu retten. Ein Kommentar von Paul Clemente.Wer von GEZ-Clowns die Schnauze voll hat, sich nach derber Polit-Satire sehnt, dem sei die Befragung von Professor Christian Drosten vor der Enquete-Kommission empfohlen. Herrlich! Köstlich! Und das Allerbeste: Der Auftritt war gar nicht als Satire geplant. Der sollte zur Aufarbeitung der Lockdown-Jahre beitragen. Okay, das hat er auch getan. Aber eben anders als geplant.Tatsächlich kann man dem Virologen nur gratulieren. Dafür, dass er während der Lockdowns öffentliche Debatten mit Kritikern gemieden hat. Denn vor einem Professor Sucharit Bhakdi oder einem Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg hätte er sich in Grund und Boden blamiert. Ein medialer Super-GAU für das Corona-Regime.Ein Drosten kann nur im Umfeld geistiger Unterbelichtung glänzen. Vor Personen von so pechschwarzer Dummheit, dass sie seine Wirrnis nicht bemerken: Dem Gros der Mainstream-Journalisten. Im Rahmen der Enquete-Kommission musste Drosten allerdings in die Arena. Endlich mal. Zum verbalen Kampf gegen kritische Fachleute. Die durften ihn mit Fragen löchern. Dreieinhalb Stunden lang. Dass diese Befragung unter Polizeischutz stattfand, zeigt: Der Schrecken ist noch lange nicht verarbeitet.Zu Drostens schärften Gegnern zählt Stefan Homburg, emeritierter Professor für Finanzwissenschaft an der Leibniz-Universität. Den kostete es kaum Mühe, den Virologen zu grillen. Er musste ihn nur mit eigenen Aussprüchen konfrontieren. Drostens Vorteil: Die Zeit für Frage und Antwort waren streng limitiert, auf wenige Minuten reduziert. Und genau das nutzte der Ex-Hofvirologe zu seinem Vorteil.Homburg zitierte ein Statement von Drosten, das der am 02. März 2020 auf einer Bundespressekonferenz zum Besten gab:„Diese Erkrankung ist eine milde Erkrankung. Das ist eine Erkältung in erster Linie. Die ist im Prinzip für den Einzelnen gar kein Problem.“Klingt gut. Eine Woche später habe Drosten erneut beteuert: Es gebe keine neuen Erkenntnisse, denn: „Das kann in der Wissenschaft auch gar nicht passieren.“ Stimmt. Das braucht nämlich Zeit. Aber dann! Neun Tage später habe der Virologe eine krasse Drehung vollzogen. Plötzlich spreadete er Panik-Narrative. O-Ton:„Auch Jüngere sterben an dieser Erkrankung. In Afrika werden wir Bilder sehen, in der Zeit zwischen Juni und August, im Sommer, die wir aus Kinofilmen kennen. Aus reinen Fantasy-Filmen. Da wird es Szenen geben, die wir uns heute noch gar nicht vorstellen können.“Jetzt die Frage von Professor Homburg: Auf welcher Daten-Grundlage habe er, Drosten, innerhalb einer Woche seine Einschätzung um 180 Grad gedreht? Eine klare Frage. Drosten sollte lediglich eine Quelle nennen. Konnte er aber nicht. Stattdessen warf er Homburg vor, er habe fast die gesamte Zeit für eigene Behauptungen beansprucht. Ihm, Drosten, bleibe keine Zeit mehr zur Beantwortung der „komplexen Fragen“. Dabei hatte Homburg gar keine Behauptung aufgestellt, sondern lediglich drei Drosten-Zitate verglichen. Plötzlich flüchtete der Hofvirologe durch Themenwechsel, knüpfte an eine frühere Frage an. Aber der Finanzwissenschaftler ließ nicht locker. Beharrte auf seine einfache Frage: Weshalb habe Drosten innerhalb von neun Tagen seine Einschätzung so radikal gewechselt? Diesmal gab der Charité-Virologe sich irritiert: Er kriege das alles gar nicht mehr zusammen. Das sei „so verwirrend“. Das seien so viele „unterschiedliche Dinge“, die „miteinander gar nichts zu tun haben“. Und Schwupps: Nächster Themenwechsel....https://apolut.net/drosten-wird-noch-gebraucht-von-paul-clemente/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

August 2025 (Aktenzeichen 4 A 1555/23), die für tausende Unternehmen in Nordrhein-Westfalen und möglicherweise bundesweit erhebliche Konsequenzen haben könnte. Das Gericht hat die Rückforderung von November- und Dezemberhilfen bestätigt und dabei eine bemerkenswerte Begründung gewählt: Die Bewilligung war nicht nur wegen falscher Angaben rechtswidrig, sondern verstieß auch gegen EU-Beihilferecht.Der SachverhaltEin selbstständiger Gewerbetreibender hatte im Jahr 2013 ein Gewerbe mit der Bezeichnung „Eventorganisation" angemeldet. Seine Tätigkeit bestand darin, Eintrittskarten und Einlasstickets für Konzerte, Sportveranstaltungen und Kulturveranstaltungen zu vertreiben. Er kaufte diese Tickets im eigenen Namen und auf eigene Rechnung ein und verkaufte sie an Endkunden weiter.Als im Herbst 2020 die Infektionen mit dem Coronavirus erneut exponentiell anstiegen und Bund und Länder im Beschluss vom 28. Oktober 2020 weitreichende Schließungen beschlossen, beantragte der Kläger sowohl November- als auch Dezemberhilfen. Er gab dabei an, indirekt betroffen zu sein, also nachweislich und regelmäßig mindestens 80 Prozent seiner Umsätze mit direkt von Betriebsschließungen betroffenen Unternehmen zu erzielen. Später erklärte er im Verwaltungsverfahren, er sei sogar direkt betroffen, weil er seinen Betrieb aufgrund der Schließungsanordnungen habe einstellen müssen.Die Bezirksregierung bewilligte daraufhin Abschlagszahlungen in Höhe von 50.000 Euro für die Novemberhilfe und 3.415,38 Euro für die Dezemberhilfe. Allein für November 2020 war dem Kläger wegen außerordentlich hoher Umsätze im November 2019 von durchschnittlich täglich über 9.300 Euro eine Novemberhilfe in Höhe von über 200.000 Euro bewilligt worden. Seine tatsächlichen Gesamtkosten im November 2020 betrugen jedoch nur gut 2.700 Euro.Nach einer Überprüfung nahm die Bezirksregierung die Bewilligungsbescheide zurück und forderte die gezahlten Beträge zurück. Der Kläger klagte dagegen. Das Verwaltungsgericht Gelsenkirchen gab ihm mit Urteil vom 25. Juli 2023 (Aktenzeichen 19 K 1492/22) zunächst recht und hob die Rücknahmebescheide auf. Die Bezirksregierung legte Berufung ein.Die Entscheidung des OVG MünsterDas Oberverwaltungsgericht Münster hob das erstinstanzliche Urteil auf und wies die Klage ab. Die Rücknahmebescheide sind rechtmäßig.Das Gericht stützt seine Entscheidung auf zwei Säulen. Zum einen waren die Angaben des Klägers im Antragsverfahren in wesentlicher Beziehung unrichtig. Er war weder direkt noch indirekt im Sinne der Förderrichtlinien betroffen. Der Verkauf von Veranstaltungstickets über das Internet musste nicht wegen des Beschlusses vom 28. Oktober 2020 eingestellt werden. Tickets für langfristig geplante Veranstaltungen durften auch während des Lockdowns verkauft werden. Der Kläger hat auch tatsächlich im Dezember 2020 noch Umsätze durch Ticketverkäufe erzielt.Auch die Voraussetzung der indirekten Betroffenheit war nicht erfüllt. Der Kläger erzielte seine Umsätze gerade nicht mit direkt betroffenen Unternehmen, sondern mit Endkunden, die von den Schließungsanordnungen nicht unmittelbar betroffen waren.Zum anderen – und das ist die eigentlich brisante Begründung – verstieß die Bewilligung gegen EU-Beihilferecht, konkret gegen Artikel…

Guest host Scot Bertram talks with Michael J. Reitz, executive vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's recent claim that Michigan's COVID lockdowns were driven by “bad information.” Reitz unpacks what that admission means, revisits the policies that shaped Michigan during the pandemic, and explains why accountability and transparency still matter. A clear-eyed conversation on lessons learned, and the ones still being ignored.

Veteran Australian journalist and freelance reporter Chris Uhlmann discusses the complexities and fragility of Australia's energy grid amidst a rapid transition to renewable sources like wind and solar, highlighting governmental mismanagement and misleading promises about energy prices. He also reflects on his extensive career within mainstream media, touching upon the challenges posed by 'wokeness' and censorship in journalism, as well as the broader political landscape, including elections, authoritarianism, and Australia's strategic relations with the U.S. and China. Additionally, Uhlmann shares insights from his works of fiction and the socio-political themes they explore.00:00 Introduction to Chris Uhlmann00:42 The Role of Media in Politics22:07 Global Energy Dynamics and China's Role27:46 Future of Free Speech and Climate Disinformation28:35 Government's War on Free Speech29:56 Gun Control in Australia30:59 Digital ID and Social Media Restrictions31:57 Free Speech and Defamation Laws33:23 Election Security in Australia35:47 COVID-19 Lockdowns and Government Control41:41 Writing Fiction in Australia48:26 US-Australia Relations and Global Politics49:45 Concluding Thoughts on Wokeness and Energy Policieshttps://chrisuhlmann.substack.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

The overarching view of the British Covid inquiry is that lockdown did not need to happen. Their inquiry is different to our two For a start, the key players turned up. Boris Johnson and co got grilled. Ardern and Hipkins and co never did because they refused. It still seems to me an astonishing act of arrogance that the same people who made such profound decisions on our lives refused to participate in a public way at the official look into the way they acted. It's a version of moral bankruptcy. Also, it's different in Britain in that it was adversarial. It's a mistake, I think, that we didn't take their approach. Also, it appears our inquiry, part two at least, has issues with a number of resignations. So who knows how our's pans out. It's due first thing next year. But although the British report says much, it's inescapable that a major observation is if the British Government had got its act together faster, if it had been more coordinated - lock downs were not necessary. Just think about that for a moment and apply it here. Lockdowns here started pretty much the same day they did in britain; March of 2020. If the British hadn't got their act together and were locking down in March, then surely it can be argued the same applies to us. Obviously their lockdowns were nowhere near as hard as ours, and that's another mass failing on the control freaks like Ardern and Hipkins. But just think about how Covid would have been, and our view of that period, if a lockdown had not been a part of the experience. Masks, rules, contact tracing, vaccines and respiratory hygiene could have stopped the need for lockdowns. That's the British conclusion. That's a pretty profound finding. It's profound for mental health and the economy. Think of the ensuing years-long damage that came out of the lockdowns, especially the Auckland ones that lasted months on end. Jobs lost, lives lost, recession after recession for something that, quite possibly, we didn't need to do. I can't see how, if they can conclude it in Britain, you can't conclude it here? Same virus, same approach, same outcome and same mistakes. It is a failing of historic proportions. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why did Boris Johnson and the British government not only fail to listen, but actively try to suppress early warnings about the pandemic? How did groupthink and optimism bias cripple the UK's response? And is Britain's government structurally too slow to handle future threats like AI and Putin's increasing aggression in Europe? Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more. __________ The Rest Is Politics is powered by Fuse Energy. The Rest Is Politics is powered by Fuse Energy.

A report by the Covid inquiry has concluded that lockdown could have been avoided entirely if other measures had been implemented urgently at the start of the pandemic. Also: Legal immigrants who claim benefits could be forced to wait 20 years before applying for the right to settle permanently.

1. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. John Tamny discusses the severe economic contraction initiated by mandated lockdowns, such as Governor Cuomo's March 20, 2020, order in New York. Tamny argues that politicians caused the crisis by forcing successful businesses to cease operations. These sudden actions by major economies forced global investors to fundamentally rethink the future value of businesses. Although early market signals from China suggested the virus was not highly lethal, pivotal political decisions, like the cancellation of South by Southwest, triggered panic, leading markets to realize that political action, not reality, was the primary threat. Markets digested these fears and corrected before rebounding. 1918

2. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. The conversation reviews the governors' initial promise of two-week lockdowns, noting that centralized power is rarely relinquished. The economic crisis deepened as epidemiologists and experts supplanted the collective knowledge of the marketplace, resulting in central planning, mass unemployment, and debt. John Tamny contrasts the COVID-19 response with the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic, which caused the equivalent of 250,000 modern deaths but elicited virtually no political or market reaction. The difference lies in technology: 50 years ago, without Zoom or delivery services, lockdowns would have caused mass discomfort and riots, preventing politicians from acting. Lockdowns happened because they could, not because they had to.

3. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. This excerpt examines the federal government's response, characterized as a partial command economy imposed after state lockdowns. John Tamny contends that Washington threw trillions of dollars at the collapse it subsidized, delaying recovery. He refutes the premise that cash handouts stimulate growth, stressing that economic dynamism comes from investment, not consumption. Attempts by commentators to nationalize investment and "freeze the economy" by propping up failing businesses were ultimately destructive. Tamny argues that had politicians done nothing, Americans would have adjusted naturally, allowing the resulting capital formation and investor trust to facilitate a rapid, organic recovery. 1918

Economist and RealClearMarkets editor John Tamny joins Sarah Westall to unpack the devastating, often overlooked consequences of lockdowns and the widespread starvation they triggered. Far from a distant memory, these policies unleashed powerful, hidden forces that continue to reshape global economics—from volatile commodity markets to eroded trust in Western institutions. Tamny reveals how these ripples are now driving bold decisions by foreign governments, central banks, and investors worldwide, fueling everything from currency wars to a surge in “de-risking” from U.S.-centric supply chains. Drawing on his sharp insights from The End of Work and beyond, Tamny argues that ignoring these scars risks repeating history's mistakes on a grander scale.You can follow John Tamny on X @johntamny

The COVID-19 pandemic was a devastating global event, killing more than seven million people, straining the fabric of societies, and shaking the foundations of the world economy. And yet, as horrifying as the experience was, COVID-19 was not “The Big One” — the dreaded pandemic that haunts the nightmares of epidemiologists and public health officials everywhere. That far deadlier outbreak is still ahead of us, and it will reshape life across the planet unless we're ready for it. In this episode, Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the world's leading infectious disease experts, explains what we got wrong, what we got right, and what it all reveals about our preparedness for the next great pandemic. Michael Osterholm is Regents Professor and McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health at the University of Minnesota, where he founded and directs the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP). An internationally renowned epidemiologist with fifty years of experience, he's led major outbreak investigations worldwide and authored over 350 papers. He served as a U.S. State Department science envoy from 2017-2019. His new book is The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks how Donald Trump's Department of Justice has become a political weapon, from targeting perceived enemies like James Comey to sweeping bribery cases under the rug, all while eroding public trust in law enforcement. He explores how Trump's strategy of framing his own criminal charges as political has worn down the public and set fire to the credibility of the legal system. Chuck also looks at the Democratic Party's internal strife over whether to embrace figures like Zohran Mamdani, the rising prospects of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and even murmurs of Lisa Murkowski eyeing a gubernatorial run. And beyond politics, he flags troubling signals in the economy—from surging Hamburger Helper sales to a slump in cardboard demand—that suggest things may not be as strong as the stock market makes them appear.Then, Dr. Michael Osterholm, one of the nation's foremost infectious disease experts, joins Chuck to confront the unsettling reality that Covid-19 was not “the big one.” From SARS and MERS as early warnings to the looming possibility of coronaviruses that are far more deadly than Covid, Osterholm argues that pandemics are inevitable—and the U.S. is dangerously unprepared. He discusses the political failures that prevented a serious after-action review, the collapse of government vaccine infrastructure, and why misinformation and anti-vaccine sentiment have left public health more vulnerable than ever.The conversation also looks forward: how mRNA technology could still be a game-changer, why developing respirators and updating building codes matter, and the urgent need for leadership with real bio-threat experience. Osterholm warns that everything from resurging childhood diseases to the rise of avian flu and the risk of bioterrorism are on the horizon, and he offers a sobering reminder—science is not fixed truth, it's the pursuit of truth. This episode is a wake-up call about what it will take to be ready for the next pandemic, which could be far worse than Covid-19.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews an incredible weekend of sports. Got injured in an accident?

Senator Rand Paul exposes Anthony Fauci for urging staff to delete emails—breaking federal law—and one shocking message reveals Fauci knew lockdowns made no difference between states like New York and Florida. While businesses collapsed and dissenting voices were censored, Fauci quietly admitted the “science” was meaningless. We break down the email, the fallout of destroyed livelihoods, and what this means for trusting “experts” going forward. Plus, updates on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why investigators suggest it looks like a professional hit with possible foreign ties.

America is at a crossroads—politically, economically, and personally. Shannon Joy, host of The Shannon Joy Show, joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino for a raw, thought-provoking conversation that dives into the issues shaping our lives today. From the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and the rise of government overreach, to the hidden costs of processed foods and the debate over health and nutrition, nothing is off the table.Shannon shares her candid perspective on Trump's presidency, the failures of the two-party system, and why she believes local politics matter more than national headlines. The trio also explores the role of gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty, the dangers of political corruption, and the fight for personal freedom in an age of misinformation.This is not your typical political debate—it's an unfiltered exchange of ideas that challenges assumptions, sparks critical thinking, and reminds us that finding common ground is more urgent than ever.What You'll Hear:- Shannon emphasizes the importance of local politics over national issues.- Investing in gold is seen as a hedge against economic instability.- The conversation highlights the challenges of the two-party political system.- Shannon argues that both political parties are complicit in government corruption.- Shannon believes that many Americans are misled by political narratives.- The discussion touches on the addictive nature of processed foods.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Housekeeping02:19 Health and Nutrition Perspectives05:08 Investing in Gold and Economic Concerns07:51 Political Dynamics and Accountability10:44 The Role of Power and Control in Politics13:29 The Nature of Political Figures16:24 Conspiracy Theories and Political Manipulation19:01 The Shift in Political Power Dynamics26:15 Economic Consequences of Tariffs and Spending28:01 The Military and Police State Dynamics30:23 The Two-Party System and Political Paradigms32:03 The Role of Propaganda in Politics33:56 COVID-19 Lockdowns and Government Response41:26 Local Politics and Community Empowerment

Host David From continues the story of Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, a Michigan restaurant owner who refused to close during the pandemic after the state's first round of executive orders was ruled unconstitutional. Joined by her attorney, Helen Brinkman, Marlena recounts being singled out by state leadership, arrested, fined, and jailed—despite unequal enforcement and conflicting rulings—after she chose to keep serving her community. Brinkman walks through the legal maze: administrative suspensions, contempt findings, and split decisions that could set a statewide precedent on executive power, due process, and equal protection. Together they explain why Marlena's case now aims for the United States Supreme Court—and why the outcome matters for every Michigander who expects leaders to follow the same rules they impose on the people.

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases.
