SCOTT JENNINGS: I also think it's important for us to remember why are we here at all in this moment where people are questioning the public health regime, and it is all out of Covid.
ABBY PHILLIP: Yeah. I agree.
JENNINGS: Everything comes from Covid, things we were told that weren't true, things about the vaccine that we were told that weren't true. This has caused people- in the past, folks might have just accepted this sight unseen. Now, I think it's legitimate for Americans to say, are we being told the absolute truth by the supposed experts? I don’t have a problem with those questions.
PHILLIP: Look. I also- I'm old enough to remember hydroxychloroquine and the horse tranquilizer and all that stuff. I mean, those things weren't true either, okay? So let's be honest about the fact that there- there was misinformation happening pretty far and wide in the Covid era. And it's not just that we were telling people the vaccine is the best thing we've got so far to help you in this moment. It's also because some people were actually trying to mislead people for profit. There are people right now still selling Covid cures that are invented. So that’s- that’s-we have to be honest about the fact that it’s- it’s happening on a lot of different sides.
