It's a part of epidemiological function to look at the past to predict the future. This season looks at possible future health crises. Burkholderia pseudomallei is a good place to start.

We're all sick of Covid, so I'm hoping this is the last episode I do on it. This episode talks about Ivermectin, poor data control, and a little about Universal Healthcare.

I've gotten more questions about COVID and other things, so I put together a very short episode to talk about them. I'll be doing things like this periodically until I start Season 2 in October.

Here we are at the season finale. If you've been listening to past episodes, you'll know how I figured out how this pandemic was going to go down. It's an exciting tale of government corruption, conspiracy theories, and all kinds of other crazy.

The 1918 Flu Pandemic was the deadliest pandemic in history. Come with me so we can find out why.
