Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast.

I'm your host, Ivor Cummins.

Hey guys, today we're going to talk around a very, very exciting event happening in London, in-person, conference.

And it's going to get into all of the lockdown science and everything else relating to this viral issue. And I have the organiser, Dan Aston Gregory, here with me today. And Dan, great to see you.

happening, not just in terms of the science, but also some of the political, cultural, social

dimensions and legal aspects of what's been going on. But what's really led to this summit is really a point where it became very clear that much of the evidence that kind of challenges some of the responses that have gone before us has not really had a much light of day. We haven't really seen that critical
