“Your Math Is WRONG” - Mark Cuban GRILLED Over His NBA COVID Vaccine Mandate | Part 2

Mark Cuban joins Rav Arora on The Illusion of Consensus for a direct, data-driven debate on free speech norms, campus censorship, and how institutions handled Covid mandates. Cuban explains his rationale for Mavericks vaccine requirements and public health tradeoffs, while Arora presses with peer-reviewed studies on transmission, myocarditis, and FDA decision-making. They examine academia’s ideological tilt, the limits of consensus, and the difference between individual risk and community protection. A rigorous conversation with clear stakes for policy, science communication, and civil discourse.
