Also, Pope Francis is a heretic
It’s farewell to Jens Spahn and welcome to the new German health minister Karl Lauterbach – will he be the one to defund homeopathy? Let’s hope so! The a new European space telescope Ariel will help us look for other planets (if we grow tired of this one), but before we go we should learn how to pronounce the name of the Polish Health Minister – listener Przemek shows us how! Also if you missed us on the Skeptic Zone you should check out their episode #685. TWISH (This Week in Skeptical History) teach us about the Norwegian Spiral Anomaly and Pope Francis is told he should stay out of Greece. After all that, we get into the news:
- GERMANY: Homeopaths promote vaccinations?
- SLOVAKIA: Ivermectin overdose leads to serious intoxication
- SWEDEN: Expert group: Sweden should have face mask requirements
- HUNGARY: COVID-related conspiracy theories continue to rise
- ITALY: Italian man wears fake arm to dodge vaccination
- GERMANY: Virologist gets the title Man of the Year 2021 in survey commissioned by… Playboy!
- ITALY: Gynaecologist arrested for claiming having sex with him is the special cure against HPV
- SWEDEN: Lund University researchers found link between belief in astrology and intelligence
Finally, if you want a Really Wrong Award of your own, just start injecting thousands of people with your own homemade untested covid-vaccine. That worked for millionaire Doctor(!) Winfried Stöcker.
Enjoy!
