Pandemic, Vaccines, and the First Amendment (Figments: On Reality)
Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2021-07-20

The delicate balance of freedom and safety.  The host for this episode is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.  

The host discusses COVID-19 vaccination risks and rates, and the challenge of "misinformation" regarding the virus and its control. He notes that the truth has changed over time as the virus and countermeasure have become better understood. Premature dismissal of the Lab-Origin theory is a clear example that we learn as we go, and what was once held as fact or science and later be dismissed. Therefore, the government should seek to control information only as an extreme measure, and only if the facts are immutable and not subject to change.
