In this Best-Of edition of the Vital Health Podcast, we're looking back on the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and conversations with Epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff, and Political Scientist Wilfred Reilly. By spring of 2020, there were already serious questions being asked about COVID-19 policies, and both men were expressing skepticism of the political approaches being advocated by governments.

Martin Kulldorff is a world renown biostatistician at the Harvard Medical School and a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. Martin was one of the co-defendants in the recent Federal 1st Amendment case, State of Missouri v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., et al, which found that he and his colleagues' rights were violated when his opinions regarding COVID-19 were censored on social media by the Biden Administration. This interview was first broadcast on June 19th, 2020.

Political scientist Wilfred Reilly is a well-known contrarian on twitter, aka X. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University and was an outspoken critic of lockdowns on the basis of his research which found no evidence of their effectiveness. He is the author of several best-selling books on race, politics, and culture in America. This interview was first broadcast on May 22, 2020.
