Congress And The Pandemic Response: An Interview With Thomas Massie
By Brownstone Institute - May 16, 2022
Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is the rare example of a statesman in the US who saw the pandemic and response with scientific clarity from the very beginning. He was never shy about sharing his views both in speeches and on social media, even when it contradicted the priorities of his own political party.
He spoke out that "two weeks to flatten the curve" made absolutely no sense. He was also personally responsible for forcing a quorum back to Washington, D.C., only one week into lockdowns, thus earning wild attacks from all sides.
He has been consistent from the beginning to end, sticking to good science and principle but always with charm and intelligence. As a result, he is hugely popular within his district, simply because voters know that he will always tell the truth as he sees it. In that way, he should serve as a model and inspiration for others.
In this interview, Congressman Massie shares the inside story of those absolutely critical first weeks of lockdowns, providing a deep and penetrating look into why he believed what he did and what fallout that brought down on him during a national hysteria.
He further reveals details not reported before such as the role of the White House in lobbying for the disastrous CARES Act ("the we don't care act") from March 2020 that set the stage for economic collapse and the current crisis.
The Brownstone Institute is deeply grateful for his time and the compliments he gives to our work.
