Topics included revealing hard truths related to public health, generating new ideas in public health, scientific discourse, economics, and social theory with the goal of defending and promoting liberty. Information and articles were published on the Institute's website and social media, in print and audio formats. In addition, educational conferences and lecture dinners and gatherings were held with the goal of educating those in attendance regarding personal liberty and free enterprise, across all areas of our society. Print materials were also produced to educate readers in our post-lockdown world by examining the global crises created by policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, discovering and explaining alternative paths, waking the world to truths, and seeking reforms to prevent such events from happening again.
