“We’re at a turning point—our actions now will determine the future.” The Nation Speaks upcoming special “COVID-19: A Reckoning,” gives a comprehensive picture of what happened after two years of aggressive lockdowns, masks, and mandates. The new two-part series will start this weekend, on June 11, broadcasting on the platforms of NTD Television and EpochTV.
“It’s clear that COVID changed us, and the world of December 2019 isn’t coming back,” says Cindy Drukier, host of The Nation Speaks.
The series features new interviews with top COVID-19 researchers and thinkers, including experts in medicine, public health, economics, and the media, such as Jeffrey Tucker, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Steve Templeton, Paul Fritjers and Gigi Foster, Naomi Wolf, Jordan Schachtel, and Scott Morefield.
“The direction we chart for the future will largely depend on how we collectively judge and learn from the past two years,” says Drukier.
Tune in to hear what the experts have to say!
