  • Good podcast, would appreciate less repetition & more time spent on the topics of the episode

    Overall, I enjoy the podcast, agree with most of the opinions of Rav & the guests, and have interests in all of these subjects. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of wasted time repeating the same information & venting about flaws in the system. I agree with most of this, and am happy there is a focus on it, but I gain nothing from hearing it a million times. For example, in the episode, myth of exercise with Andy Galpin, Rav started by listing a bunch of interesting topics he hoped to explore. If the... more

  • Masquerading as Unbiased

    Starting off with the format, I wish they would be more focused in their discussions. The episode about genetics of obesity was interesting but just meandered all over the place and was hard to follow (throwing out “studies” in tiny droplets without full disclosure or references, etc.) One guest was a proponent of a supposed miracle herb/medicine but “she couldn’t remember the name of it.” Do they do that on purpose so that the lack of strong evidence for any one point is obscured? As far as ... more

  • You seemed so intent on explaining your position that you failed to explore the position of your Interviewee. Why does he focus on the patient? It seems you missed an opportunity to explore a perhaps significant viewpoint of doctors who think reforming the system is useless and who therefore prefer to focus on the patient in front of them, encouraging them to take a proactive role with regard to their own health.

  • Great

    Excellent. The podcast addresses various topics related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Adresses delicate topics which have been often completely omitted or at least underreported in the mainstream media.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Podcast Version: Robert Malone on MAJOR Shift in Childhood Vaccine Policy Just Happened
Q: What do you think is the rationale for trying to shift the US vaccine schedule to align with Denmark's or other related countries?
The rationale includes the observation that Denmark's vaccine schedule is minimalist compared to the US schedule, without significant difference in health outcomes.
Dr. Robert Malone On The Current State Of MAHA
Q: Are you disagreeing with this FDA policy regarding the approval of vaccines?
I want all of these products off the market due to non-trivial adverse events and concerns with current mRNA vaccines.
Understanding Gender Dysphoria: A Deep Dive with Mia Hughes
Q: Is there any sense of the broader picture of gender ratios for gender dysphoria?
I would say so. I mean, no, no, it's... probably the bulk, 75% of the surge is adolescent girls.
Understanding Gender Dysphoria: A Deep Dive with Mia Hughes
Q: Do you think that all of transgenderism is a social contagion?
I think neither of those things are true. First of all, there's no such thing as true trans individuals born that way.
Jailed Political Dissident Maxime Bernier On Canada's Economic and Immigration Disaster
Q: Do you believe that there should be any kind of social safety net?
Yes, but it's primarily the jurisdiction of provincial governments in Canada.
