Sacks argues lockdowns continue without justification since hospitals never became overwhelmed as originally feared.
“I mean, the original reason for the lockdowns was to buy us time so that the hospitals wouldn't become overwhelmed like Italy.”
Sacks advocates ending lockdowns while wearing masks, a position hard to find on political spectrum.
“So, you know, I come out on this thing is that I think we should end lockdowns but wear masks.”
Sacks argues under-reaction caused the pandemic and overreaction will cause a depression.
“I tweeted that the pandemic, that under reaction caused the pandemic and overreaction will cause the depression. And I think that's kind of where we are right now.”
Sacks advocates ending lockdowns while wearing masks, a position he says is politically isolated.
“I think we should end lockdowns but wear masks. And it's very hard to find anybody, you know, in the political spectrum who who agrees with that”
Sacks says the right policy is ending lockdowns while wearing masks, but politicians split on both.
“I think the right policy is to end lockdowns but wear masks. The problem with the politicians is half of them didn't want to end lockdowns and the other half didn't want to wear masks.”
