Download

 
This week we first celebrate the flight of Ingenuity on Mars, the first ever powered flight on another planet. In This week in Skepticism we hear about how Pierre and Marie Curie isolated radium for the first time and what a significant achievement that was. Then we have a Covid-19 update before we dig into the news:

  • Adverse events in children linked to SCAM
  • Researchers investigating AstraZeneca vaccine side effects had undisclosed ties to Pfizer
  • Herbal product behind Salmonella outbreak, three dead
  • 5G does not present “any new risks” according to ANSES

The Norwegian self-appointed “independent health researcher”, Hans Kristian Gaarder, gets the first ever posthumously award for being Really Wrong.

Enjoy!
