Episode 30: Colluding Covid Cabal Not Conformed

    • Education

After briefly drawing attention to a few important recent world events we deconstruct the conversation surrounding the origins of SARS-CoV-2, treating it as a case study of the inner workings of the scientific community and as an example of collusion among scientists, government officials and media entities, as they attempt to control the narrative of a major and consequential world event. During our analysis we offer useful tips on how to think about scientific claims, discuss the extensive censorship of dissenting scientific views, and draw attention to the attempts of media to rewrite their earlier statements once the tide of opinion about the origins of SARS-CoV-2 changed.  To quote New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, "we continue to be your single source of truth," and "unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth!"
