SERIES

Reality TV stars are freezing their eggs on camera. Lawmakers in DC are debating federal protection for IVF. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested in slick startups that market fertility treatments for all. But this rapid growth has revealed cracks in the system. Misconception, a new series from Bloomberg’s Prognosis, follows reporter Kristen V. Brown on her own intimate journey as she uncovers the business of fertility. Along the way, she finds a fractured industry — a profit-driven field of medicine that thrives on dueling messages of hope and fear as people gamble everything for a chance at a baby.

Musk is polarizing, confounding and inescapable. And he is the biggest business story of our time. Each week, listen in as host David Papadopoulos convenes a panel of Bloomberg Businessweek journalists who are tracking Musk’s companies and the surprising ways they intersect.

Hiboat

I have been waiting for a civilized critique of the pandemic and vaccine cures. I am persuaded that the loudest voices against COVID-19 vaccination predicate their opposition on conspiratorial misconduct by those for whom the public should trust. I’m sorry but on balance, the fear and mistrust of the vaccine that is sown by opponents is incredibly more perilous to societal health than the few well documented issues with the vaccines. The opposition arguments are made irresponsibly and are done without consequence. This podcast has laid out the issues in this debate and the consequences of inaction. They have truly provided a public service and for that I thank you.
Excellent!

Very interesting and well researched. However, I’d like to add that although I disagree with Robert Kennedy’s stance on vaccines, I think he was correct when he said that he was censored when he was banned from Instagram. I think Instagram was incorrect to ban him. But thank you for a very interesting and engaging podcast!

“We know vaccines are safe and effective.” We know injecting a cocktail of chemicals is safe. Tell me how ‘we’ know. Well, talk to the parents of vaccine damaged children. . . Done!
