Rabies. Damn rabies.

A woman shouldn't have to be hit by a car to learn that she may have rabies.

But that is where we are in America.

And that does not sit right with me.

And that is why I am hosting a fun-run race for the cure for rabies,

to raise awareness of the fact that there is a cure for rabies,

of disease that has been largely eradicated in the U.S.,

but not very many people know that.

There is simply no proof that there is a virus called rabies that causes the dogs to go nuts.

There's just, there is no scientific proof of that.

That's a story.

So, of course, that first clip was Steve Carell from the office.

But the second one was from today's guest, Michael Wallach,

who joined me to talk about his new documentary series, The Viral Delusion. Hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome to Skeptico, where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading

researchers, thinkers, and their critics.

I'm your host, Alex Sikaris. And today we're joined by documentary filmmaker and creator of the new

series, The Viral Delusion, Mike Bualek. And joining us as well is Mike Stone, who is kind of a interesting guy, knowledgeable guy, knew about the film, and Mike invited Mike along to kind of add maybe some input on some of the more technical, scientific parts.

But I have a feeling that Mr. Wallach will be able to handle a lot of that himself.

So to both of you, thanks so much for being here.

Alex, thanks for having us.
