I’m a skeptic searching for the truth in all matters related to science and medicine, especially where it intersects with economics, politics, and public health. The truth is out there and we’re going to find it together…

Allegory Of The Bus Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode was originally released in March 2017 during the attempt to "Repeal and Replace" Obamacare with TrumpCare.

The Allegory of the Bus was a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of the deep division in Washington politics on the health and security of the nation.

I'm re-releasing the Allegory of the Bus because it's even more relevant today with the even deeper divide in Congress- and the Nation- as we collectively confront far more ominous threats.

COVID Commentaries. Episode 3: Seeds of Destruction Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

I am re-releasing this episode on the one-year anniversary of the first U.S. case of COVID-19. Since then, 2 million people have died worldwide from COVID-19, and we still don't have a credible explanation of how it entered the human reservoir.

There is abundant evidence of a concerted effort by the Chinese Authorities to conceal what was really going on in Wuhan since the last week of December 2019. They took active measures to suppress and destroy the overwhelming evidence that SARS Coronavirus-2, aka COVID-19, was rapidly spreading from human-to-human in Wuhan for almost a month before they finally acknowledged it to the world on January 21st. During that time, the WHO didn't challenge or confirm the veracity of the official Chinese narrative that there was no evidence that the novel coronavirus was spreading from human-to-human. Instead, they echoed the false narrative, giving it credibility while COVID-19 spread around the world.

"Seeds of Destruction" takes a hard look at the evidence in plain sight of what the Chinese leadership knew and when they knew it. It also examines the role of the WHO in promoting the false narrative. Understanding how a pandemic started is the key to preventing the next one.

COVID Commentaries. Episode 2: The Enemy Appears [Origins] Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

The World Health Organization is just now investigating the origins of COVID-19. Last May, I published this podcast with an alternative theory of the origin of the SARS Coronavirus-2 (aka COVID-19) based on facts in plain sight.

My theory contradicted the Chinese Government's narrative and was dismissed as "conspiracy theory." Based on the WHO's investigation, this podcast is now proving prescient.

The Caption for the May 4, 2020 Episode: Knowing how a pandemic started is the key to stopping the next one.

A novel bat coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan, China in late November of 2019. This family of coronaviruses normally reside in bats living in caves 1000 miles south of Wuhan. Understanding where the virus came from and how it entered the human reservoir will help prevent a similar pandemic in the future.

No matter what you may have heard, no one has produced evidence to prove exactly where or how the virus entered the human reservoir. There are two possible theories to explain where this virus came from and how it entered the human reservoir. Both are plausible. Both have merit. This episode critically examines both theories of the origin of COVID-19.

COVID Hell: COVID-19 Update #10 [November 23, 2020] Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

We have entered COVID Hell. The novel coronavirus has returned with a vengeance. In the U.S., new cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions have already exceeded all-time highs from last spring, and we're just beginning the exponential phase of the third wave.

Hospitals in 18 states are already overwhelmed, and the vaccines cannot be deployed in time to avert the darkest winter in a century. With increased holiday travel and indoor congregation, combined with pandemic fatigue and pandemic anger, this is the most dangerous time we have faced yet in the pandemic.
