The Economic and Social Fallout of COVID-19 Policies with Ed Dowd
What are the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 policies on the labor market and public trust?
Edward Dowd, former BlackRock portfolio manager and Founding Partner of Phinance Technologies, joins hosts Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino to examine the labor market, economic trends, and the broader implications of COVID-19 policies. With decades of experience on Wall Street—including managing a $14 billion growth equity portfolio at BlackRock—Dowd brings a sharp, data-driven perspective on recession risks, government interventions, and the shifting job landscape, including the impact of illegal immigration.
As the author of Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022, Dowd also explores how pandemic messaging shaped public perception, the role of censorship, and ongoing concerns about vaccine safety and excess mortality. With deep market expertise and firsthand insights, this conversation challenges prevailing narratives and calls for greater transparency and accountability.
Key Takeaways:
-Economic forecasts suggest the labor market is weaker than it appears.
-Tariffs serve as negotiation tools rather than pure inflation drivers.
-Illegal immigration skews job data and market dynamics.
-COVID-19 messaging and media narratives fueled widespread psychological fear.
-Concerns over vaccine efficacy, excess mortality, and long-term health effects persist.
-Censorship and financial incentives shaped pandemic reporting.
-Accountability in the pandemic response remains a pressing issue.
