This guy like me is another science lover - he got his bachelor's degree in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology from Clarion University and his PhD in Molecular Biology from Carnegie Mellon University.Meet Dr. Dan Wilson, creator of the YouTube channel Debunk the Funk with Dr. Wilson!In his channel, he debunks the claims of anti vaxxers, the covid deniers, and various misinformation that's circling the Internet.This is part three of a four part series, so if you missed the first two episodes, go back and listen to those first! Today we talk about the controversial drugs, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and what the science says about whether or not they are effective in the treatment of COVID 19. We talk about the ethical and moral responsibility of celebrities, with huge audiences hosting controversial figures on their platform who've been shown to spread misinformation about COVID in the past. We also talk about the recent episode with Robert Malone on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast - they talked about so much misinformation about Covid and Covid vaccines that music artists on Spotify protested against their controversial episode!We talk about Pierre Kory and Peter McCullough turning up on the Dark Horse podcast with Bret Weinstein as well. We talk about if there's ever a limit of freedom of speech, particularly when facing something like a pandemic. Could it be that politicians and other political figures and public figures are intentionally lying to the public in order to try and achieve a good outcome? -- Remember when Dr Anthony Fauci of the US claimed that masks didn't work early in the pandemic so that he could save masks and other PPE for medical workers.See you in the next episode!** Want to wear the kookaburra shirt? **Get yours here at https://aussieenglish.com.au/shirt
