Thanks for the fascinating podcast. Weβre living in dark times. You both are lights and I look forward to each episode. Itβs like true crime, only itβs realtime medical murder.
Best part: the music. Thank you for adding more.
Dr. Howard, that outro song slaps.
The podcast claims to bring clarity about COVID facts but is itself a source of disinformation when it comes to, for example, the lab leak theory. The podcast critiques the NGO Biosafety Now for its rhetoric, but does not understand the fight that Biosafety Now is doing against powerful corrupted institutions such as NIH. Furthermore, the argument that a zoonotic spillover would be more likely than a lab accident because spillovers happen "all the time" is bogus (its a mistake of confusing spill... more
A big shout out to this podcast - as someone outside the US who was trying to read and listen to the best science during the past 4 years of the pandemic, and would encounter some bizarre and contrary information from some highly regarded and lettered sources, this helps to contextualise and explain how misinformation was presented and discussed.
