…or “SCAM”, if you will
This week we have lots of catching up to do, with sad news from Hungarian Skeptics, but also good news regarding skeptical meetings and activism in Germany, Hungary and Sweden. In TWISH we remember the founding of the Jagiellonian University over six hundred years ago this week. Then we dig into the news:

  • INTERNATIONAL: WHO declares pandemic to be no longer a threat
  • GERMANY: Homeopathic cold medicine Meditonsin no longer allowed to advertise with certain statements
  • EUROPE: Russia behind anti-Ukraine and anti-Erdogan demonstrations all over EU
  • UK: Propagator of SCAM now heads the Royal Medical Household
  • GERMANY: Association of Midwifery distances themselves from Homeopathy
  • UK: Measles on the rise
  • SWEDEN: Paranormal beliefs remarkably high

A very sad Really Wrong this week as a 14 year-old girl dies in Austria due to alternative practitioners.

We trust you still enjoy the episode!
