What Lessons Can Be Learned from the Management of the Covid-19 Pandemic? With Dr. Gerry Quinn & Dr. Ronan Connolly

Old Mate | June 19, 2025

 

In this hard-hitting episode, Niall sits down with Dr. Gerry Quinn and Dr. Ronan Connolly to unpack one of the most controversial scientific papers published since the pandemic began. Titled What Lessons Can Be Learned from the Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic, their work challenges the mainstream response to Covid-19 from multiple angles: lockdowns, vaccines, data manipulation, and the silencing of dissent.

Niall reflects on his own experience during the pandemic, recalling how allowing open debate on air sparked backlash from those who wanted only one narrative heard. The episode revisits many of the core claims made at the height of the crisis and examines which of them still stand up to scrutiny.

Dr. Gerry Quinn admits he initially accepted the official warnings. But when early policy proposals made no immunological sense, alarm bells rang. “They were proposing things that just didn’t add up,” he recalls. “Infection control standards I had used in HIV labs were being completely ignored in public health measures.”

Dr. Ronan Connolly explains how early pandemic modeling became disconnected from reality. Many of the models, he says, were based on outdated mathematics with little basis in real-world biology or human behavior. “The same models could be run with any new virus and they’d spit out the same terrifying results,” he explains. He also notes that excess mortality remained lower than predicted in many regions, suggesting the threat was overstated.

The episode also scrutinizes vaccine policy. Both doctors raise concerns about how traditional treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were shut down, while experimental mRNA vaccines were fast-tracked under emergency use. “I personally don’t think it should have been released,” says Dr. Quinn. “Too many unknowns. Any other drug with that level of uncertainty would never have been approved.”

They point to the nearly identical lockdown strategies implemented across nations as a sign of deeper coordination. “These policies were almost identical worldwide. That doesn’t happen by accident,” says Dr. Quinn. He believes international bodies may have played a stronger role in shaping national policies than most people realize.

The paper at the center of this conversation is co-authored by 37 scientists, including Dr. Robert Malone, one of the original developers of mRNA technology. The authors argue that fear took priority over fact, dissent was suppressed, and scientists who raised concerns were punished or ignored.

“Science only works when people disagree,” says Dr. Connolly. “The biggest failure wasn’t the lockdowns or the masks or the modeling. It was the refusal to let anyone question the answers we were being given.”

This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand what went wrong, why so many voices were silenced, and how we can avoid repeating the same mistakes.
