The Covid Cult | Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

This was today's assignment for the 12th grade Public Speaking Class:


Tom Woods is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard. Despite this, he understands rhetoric. He explains right away that he knows that with a title using the word "Cult", he's going to have to show up with the goods.

From YouTube:

"This is the greatest public health fiasco in the history of the world, and the media has distorted it so badly, that much of the general public is celebrating villains and hissing at heroes. And, even — perversely enough — celebrating the destruction of their own lives and their children's lives."

-------------

Please watch the video, and answer the following:
  1. Woods uses a mix of rhetoric and logic. What does he do and does he do a good job?
  2. Woods' presentation goes against what we read and see in mainstream media. Does he effectively counter it?
  3. Did his presentation change your opinion about the Covid lockdowns at all? Explain in detail how, or if, it moved the needle.
-------------

If you're interested further in the lockdown's deleterious effects on children, this article is the best one out there on how Covid lockdowns are destroying young children's lives, particularly in distressed communities.

Here is Thomas Woods' presentation:.


UPDATE:

This video was scrubbed by the Big Tech Overlords.  It's woken up a few of my students, as they're wondering why someone like Woods should be blacklisted.

Here's the BitChute version:
