TheESP – Ep. #286 – What Happened to Measles?

In this episode we first chat about the Pegasus project and what implications it might have. We also note that the Russian Nauka module was a little trigger happy when joining with the ISS, turning it around 45 degrees for no good reason. In This Week we salute Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim, the excellent science communicator before we have a well-needed Covid-19 update. Then we dig into the news: - Measles follow-up: what became the 2016-2019 epidemic? - Covid-denier‘s Hungarian Chamber of Doctors’ membership suspended - Social media giants criticized for being a ‘safe space for racists’ - Massive melting event in Greenland - 14000 scientists warn world about ‘untold suffering’ as result of ignoring climate change - German court faults Facebook‘s past handling of hate speech - Systemic Agro-Homeopathy – the latest craze -86-year-old Basque woman first to get assisted death in Spain To round off, we hand out a Really Wrong award to Advanz Pharma and a Really Right award to the CMA, all concerning unreasonable pricing of medication.
