4: How Christian pastors have pushed back against COVID conspiracy theories
Over the course of the pandemic, we’ve heard about some of the people who refused to follow public health rules. There are the anti-maskers, the people who can’t seem to stay two meters apart from others and those that set up illegal gyms for their workouts.

In today’s episode, the National Post’s Tyler Dawson takes a closer look at churches and COVID conspiracies.
