The European Skeptics Podcast - The ESP

TheESP – Ep. #485 – Barbara Bananas


Listen Later

Is the virus metaphor for spreading misinformation really as good as we have been led to think? Some psychologists disagree. We again ask everyone to show support their support for the Naked Scientists podcast and then in TWISH we hear about George Orwell whose dark visions of society seems ever relevant. Then, we go to the news:

  • ENGLAND / WALES: Assisted dying set to become law in England and Wales after MPs pass bill
  • ISRAEL / IRAN: Disinformation to look out for
  • INTERNATIONAL: Climate misinformation turning crisis into catastrophe, report says
  • SWITZERLAND: Government tries to hide expert report on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles
  • AUSTRALIA / EUROPE / USA: Australian SCAM promoter Barbara O’Neill is planning a European tour

Statins is the subject for both the Really Wrong and Really Right Awards this week. One goes to Aseem Malhotra and the other to Full Fact. Can you guess who gets which?

Enjoy!
