TheESP – Ep. #477 – AI gets high on shrooms

We start out with a few things from the world of skepticism – in Belgium, SKEPP turns 35 next week with special appearance by Chris French (don’t miss it!), and we link to an article about skeptic history in Hungary. Speaking of Hungary, in TWISH we talk about the prominent Hungarian skeptic and science communicator Aurél Ponori Thewrewk, who was born this week in 1921. Then we head for the news:

• VATICAN: The conclave begins on 7 May
• GERMANY: Prominent antivaxxer admits that covid vaccines had few side-effects, but he’s still completely wrong
• EU: European Commission launching new initiatives to tackle vaccine related mis- and disinformation
• SWEDEN: HPV vaccinations close to eliminate virus in Sweden
• UK: Unproven mushroom supplement – a report by Marsh

We then hand out no less than 1047 Really Right Awards to the Swedish scientists who fights back against politicians who keep dismissing their research as “opinion”.

Enjoy!
