Sheer Stupidity

The “Coronavirus Credibility Gap” episode on July 10th was SO INCREDIBLY STUPID that I urge everyone to boycott this podcast and am deleting it. The host and guest speaker contradicted EVERY best practice that has been proven to mitigate the virus, as evidenced, for example, by the virus control success earned by the State of New York. They contradicted current WHO and CDC guidelines. This podcast is an obvious example of what CAUSES the coronavirus credibility gap! Irresponsible garbage-spewing broadcasting.
