The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 412 of the In The Tank Podcast. There has been a wave of stories coming out sounding the alarm on yet another dreaded COVID variant. In light of this news, we are already seeing the return of some mask mandates and other restrictions. Additionally, there are supposed TSA whistleblowers claiming we will soon be entering another era of full-fledged COVID prevention policy. How likely is this? Have we not learned anything from our last go-around? What are the political implications of a return to COVID lockdowns? The ITT crew discusses this and more.
