In episode 001, we asked the question, “What are we arguing about when we argue about mandates?”
A few things have emerged in the news that are relevant to this question, and they’re interesting enough that we thought it would be good to do a brief update to the question of mandates… especially vaccine mandates.

E003 - Did Sweden's Approach to Covid-19 Work?
Critics of lockdowns applaud Sweden’s original approach, which relied heavily on voluntary measures. Public health proponents, however, note that Sweden has suffered unnecessary illness and death, all to protect the economy.
