Were COVID lockdowns a deadly mistake? Jay Bhattacharya vs. Sten Vermund
Debate aired November 15, 2022
For the Affirmative Jay Bhattacharya won overwhelmingly. But as with the historically significant "The Great Barrington Declaration" which he co-authored, this important debate has been banned, censored and throttled by the U.S. Security State.

"Does the world need to rapidly convert to using renewable energy to save the planet from global warming?"
AUDIO DEBATE August 15, 2022
That was the topic of a Soho Forum debate held at the Sheen Center in New York City on August 15, 2022.
The debated proposition for immediate action to move from fossil fuels to renewable energy lost convincingly. "Making large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions aren't necessary to protect the earth."
Steven Koonin, who served as undersecretary for science at the Department of Energy during the Obama administration and is the founding director of New York University's Center for Urban Science and Progress, argued that making large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions aren't necessary to protect the earth. He also contended that doing so isn't cost-effective and that it's immoral. Koonin is also the author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters.
This debate was moderated by Soho Forum director Gene Epstein.
