TheESP – Ep. #469 – Hungarian politics à la Putin

Believe it or not, there are more skeptical podcasts out there than ours – check out the Skeptic podcast for example, the newest one out there from the Skeptic UK. Pierre -Simon Laplace is this week’s topic for TWISH, and then we get into the news:

• SWEDEN: New study confirms: Tens of thousands of lives in Sweden saved by covid vaccines
• HUNGARY: State TV keeps citing Russian Defense Ministry’s unreliable data
• ITALY / UK: Tuscany approves assisted dying
• GERMANY: SkepKon 2025 now open for ticket purchases
• UK: Conference on Research Integrity

The Really Wrong Award this week goes to Viktor Orbán as the Budapest Pride festival is coming and he cannot resist exploiting it for his populistic propaganda. On the opposite side, Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony is man enough to stand up to Orbán and for that he is Really Right!

Enjoy!
