Summary
How information manipulation could be destroying our health
When the media purposefully controversializes issues, life-saving facts become harder to find. Hear how Facebook and other self-appointed censors are making certain facts and views hard to find.
As part of today's podcast, hear Democrats and Republicans discuss getting bullied out of investigating issues involving the safety of vaccines and other medicine.
Also, hear the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine say that much information in medical journals today cannot be believed due to improper influence over studies and articles by pharmaceutical industry.
