This week we get nostalgic about the days when we could travel. We marvel over the fact that some people still thinks it is okay to do so, since the Swedish ski resorts report they are as busy as ever. Nothing new about the pope today, we get a Covid-19 update and then it’s time for us to look at the news:
- Study wants to show who is turning to the Covid-denying Querdenker movement
- Backlash for French Covid19 vaccines
- The Good Magic Awards are back
- Study shows the necessity of big visual signs to warn people about fake news
- Colloidal silver and other pseudoscientific therapies potentially dangerous
- Hungarian media using a hoax about the Netherlands
- Study on the use and confidence in therapies not based on science
It has come to light that a Swedish company has sold fake covid-19 certificates to unknowing customers and of course that earns them a Really Wrong Award.
Enjoy!

0:49:31 QUOTE AND FAREWELL
“Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology. Only if symbols are construed to mean what they are not intended to mean can there arise imaginary, insoluble conflicts. As pointed out above, the blunder leads to blasphemy: the Creator is accused of systematic deceitfulness.”
/ Theodosius Grigorevich Dobzhansky (January 25, 1900 – December 18, 1975), prominent Ukrainian-American geneticist and evolutionary biologist /
