COVID-19 Origin Episode 5: An Inconvenient Truth 11.04.2022

On January 31, 2020, the day after the WHO declared the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, Big Science in the US and the UK learned an inconvenient truth.

The Origin of COVID-19 Episode 4: The China Coverup 31.01.2022

There is abundant evidence of a concerted effort by the Chinese Government and their Public Health officials to conceal the magnitude of the outbreak of "pneumonias of unknown cause" and to mislead the world into believing that COVID-19 was not spreading by human-to-human transmission for almost a month. During that month, an estimated 7-million people left Wuhan City for destinations around the w...

Dr. Paul Offit is back in the virtual studio to discuss the COVID-19 vaccines in 5-to-11-year-olds, the relative risk of myocarditis following vaccination compared to the risk of myocarditis following a Covid-19 infection, and the glaring lack of evidence supporting the vaccine booster for most of us.

Dopamine Nation with Anna Lembke MD 30.08.2021

Today, I interview best-selling author, Dr. Anna Lembke, on her latest book, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence. Dr. Lembke carefully maps out the neuroscience, and leads us to an inescapable and uncomfortable conclusion: we have met the enemy, and the enemy is us. Dopamine is merely the messenger. More often than not, we are the architects of our own addictions, pain, and u...

Allegory Of The Bus 25.01.2021

Today's episode was originally released in March 2017 during the attempt to "Repeal and Replace" Obamacare with TrumpCare.
