COVID in Paris w/ Dr. Laurent Mucchielli
🕑 Added 2021-12-24 05:17:56 +0000 UTCWe speak with sociologist and research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the largest basic research institute in Europe. Dr. Mucchielli has been critical of France's COVID authoritarianism since the start of the pandemic, and has written and co-signed numerous open letters denouncing the unnecessary and repressive nature of the COVID protocols in France and beyond. He also has co-authored an analysis of deaths as reported by various countries' drug surveillance organizations. This analysis, entitled "An Unprecedented Mortality" led him and his co-authors to call for a moratorium of the vaccination campaign. This article was censored, but you can find an archived version here (in French): https://archive.ph/qDAvp
We speak to him about his view of the pandemic, the French protest movement, his political analysis of the situation, and more.

Fyi, the link to Mucchielli's article doesn't work, but you can still get it by pasting the URL in directly.

Great interview. Thanks also for the excellent article in the Bellows. Your work reminds me I’m not going crazy and I often think of Leila as I walk through the supermarket, often as the only unmasked person these days. I hasten to add, though people here go along with the “rules” most people I talk to also think its all bullshit, and most working class people I know are quick to talk about how angry they are about whats going on.
