COVID changed everything—our freedoms, our beliefs, and even how we think about science itself. But in the aftermath of lockdowns, mandates, and mass fear, one question remains: Did we actually follow science, or just a carefully crafted narrative?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael J. Schwartz, a medical expert specializing in genetics, respiratory pathogens, and immunology, who has analyzed over 19,000 patients and 44,000 test results throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As a clinic owner, laboratory director, and author of "Fauci's Fiction" and "Vaccine Fiction," Dr. Schwartz has firsthand knowledge of how government policies, media narratives, and flawed data shaped the pandemic response.
We dig into the real numbers behind COVID testing and vaccines, the impact of lockdowns on public health, and the politicization of science. Did we follow the best medical practices, or did government agencies manipulate the narrative? Were vaccine mandates based on solid science, or were key data points ignored? And what happens the next time the world faces a crisis like this?
No matter where you stand on COVID, this episode will challenge you to rethink what we were told—and what we weren't. Tune in now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
