Kevin interviews Dr. Gary Davidson, lead author on the Final Report of the Alberta Covid Pandemic Data Review Task Force. They discuss the criticism of the Report, and what Dr. Davidson believes should be the next steps following the report’s release. Dr. Davidson would like to see a full, formal inquiry where critics and supporters alike can put their evidence on the record. This would help Alberta craft a proper emergency response plan. The province did have an emergency response plan prior to Covid, but that was chucked out in favour of lockdowns, mandatory masking and vaccinations. In the second half of the show, John Carpay looks at an open letter from academics to Premier Danielle Smith calling for the government to disregard Dr. Davidson's report completely.
