Lockdowns and COVID measures were a “one-dimensional response to a multidimensional problem,” as mental health issues, financial issues, and cultural issues were ignored by the policy makers, said health writer Gabrielle Bauer in a recent interview for EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”

“The very minute the lockdowns were announced and everyone started saying, ‘Follow the science, the scientists, the experts,’ I thought, ‘Wait a minute, where are the economists? Where are the philosophers? Where are the historians at the table? Where are the mental health experts? Where are the social scientists?’ These voices are just as important for managing a pandemic,” she said.
