I’m a fan of a lot of the things that Rick Rubin does. But man, he is an easy mark for anti-VAX anti-science bs. Before I skipped a few episodes, but now it’s a pattern and I’m giving up on him. I hope Rick comes to his senses and acknowledges that he is a poor judge of important issues of science. It’s pretty clear he doesn’t understand the difference between people who actually do the science, and snake oil salesman who takes Science out of context and lack true expertise on the topics. It’s a free country, but when it comes to expertise, I have not seen a single person on these issues who actually does the large studies that hold up to peer review. I know Rick is intellectually curious and respects people who put the time into what they do, but he’s out to lunch on this sharing information that could get people killed. I’m unfollowing the podcast, and I’m not gonna pick it up again. Writing list in case someone comes across it, and it gives them a little doubt about the veracity of the things these people say.
