We sit down and examine the aspects of a "permanent pandemic?" Are we now being told that this will never end, and that we will have to take permanent steps to mitigate the variants of COVID? For what purpose? Also, we discuss the US and China diplomatic talks in Alaska. Who ran the agenda? What talking points were raised, and was anything accomplished? And, we take a closer look at a WHO investigator who is supposed to be non biased in the matters of research and medicine. Where does his research seem to be focused on? We ask the questions.
