We need to fight for abortion rights – again

Monkeypox is coming – is that the new pandemic? Our favourite ESC is the European Skeptics Congress in Vienna in September and we’re counting on seeing you there. The DA! Awards are coming and if you live in Germany you should register your nominations. Then we have an error correction from last week regarding horses and snails… No TWISH today so we jump right into Pope Francis meeting with Bono (of U2 fame) and a pretty remarkable exchange between the two. Then it’s time for the news:

• SWITZERLAND: Climate Doom
• SPAIN: Facebook fails to stop Spanish language anti-abortion disinformation
• EU: Lobby group for ‘integrative medicine’ in the EU
• UKRAINE: YouTube removes more than 9,000 channels relating to Ukraine war
• UK: Gene edited tomatoes could soon be sold in England

Anthroposophic quack doctor Harald Matthes gets his second Really Wrong Award this month, tune in to find out what he has been up to this time!

Enjoy!
