TheESP – Ep. #274 – A Buffet of Vaccines

Download

 
This week we wish Annika all the best in recovering from her first vaccine shot, we learn how to properly pronounce Cardinal ‘Becchiu’ and hear about this week’s birthday boy, Edward Jenner. Pope Francis tries to fight the pandemic with a totally pointless marathon and then we proceed on to check out the news:

  • Instead of a Covid update: watch the latest episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
  • Counterfeit covid-19 certificates – digitally signed without doctor’s knowledge
  • The Heinz Oberhummer Award goes to…
  • Facebook to warn you when you’re about to share something you haven’t read
  • ASA: Homeopaths are not suitably qualified health professionals and claims for homeopathy are improper

Before we go, we hand out an unusual Really Right to members of the German Catholic ‘Leibe Gewinnt’ initiative.

Enjoy!
