Drop the Hammer! Why Strict Enforcement of 'Get Vaxxed or Get Tested' is so Important.
Episode 36 - The Government of Belize has given thousands of frontline workers an ultimatum... get vaccinated, get tested, or get a new job. However, Belize is a country known for having great laws but little enforcement. My two cents on why anything less than a strict, consistent, and immediate crackdown on anyone who violates controversial S.I. 74 would spell disaster for GOB.

Justice for Laddie! / Why are Anti-Vaxxers Winning the Information War?

Customer Reviews
Food for Thought
This podcast delivers some difficult truths about life in Belize. Brent presents the facts in a gentle way to engage the listener into thinking more deeply about the issues of the jewel. I like how he ties together events from the past to link them to the current situation in Belize. Always though he has some tidbit of positivity to show that humanity is alive and kicking.
Exactly what we needed in a podcast
Brent is my new favorite source for updates in Belize and I that’s because I am here. I really appreciate his points of view, his obvious concern and willingness to help Belize put things into perspective. Great Job Brent this is great stuff!!
You get more than just 2 cents
Brent dives into some topics that established media houses in Belize only skim. The podcast may just be 15 mins but you really get some thought points that has you discussing with yourself and others who listen.
It is professionally done, witty and I keep looking forward to the next episode.
