12. James Todaro MD on Fiat Medicine Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

We are joined by Dr. James Todaro MD to discuss fiat medicine and fiat science, and the free market alternative he is pursuing. James is a bitcoiner and medical doctor who conducted highly important research this year, and saw it censored and attacked by media and scientific authorities.

James later helped uncover a completely fraudulent article based on fabricated data published in The Lancet. Six months from its publication, we reflect to see what this study and its retraction teach us about fiat science.

James is currently building an open-source alternative to fiat academic medicine on Omnijournal on Omnij.org.

He also publishes medicineuncensored.com.

You can find him on Twitter on @JamesTodaroMD.
