Summary

Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale University discusses science versus plausibility with RFK Jr in this episode.

Science starts with theories, hypotheses, that have examinable empiric ramifications. Nevertheless, those theories are not science; they motivate science. Science occurs when individuals do experiments or make observations that bear upon the implications or ramifications of the theories. Those findings tend to support or refute the theories, which are then modified or updated to adjust to the new observations or discarded if compelling evidence shows that they fail to describe nature. The cycle is then repeated. Science is the performance of empirical or observational work to obtain evidence confirming or refuting theories.

0:00.0	Hey, everybody. I have today. I'm really, really happy. I'm one of my favorite people and he's been
0:05.2	regular guests on my podcast since the beginning of the pandemic, which means since the beginning of
0:11.4	his podcast, Dr. Harvey Rich is a professor emeritus now of epidemiology at Yale School of Public
0:19.1	Health. He is a practicing epidemiologist with more than 40 years of research experience.
0:25.0	He is a member of the Society for Epidemiological Research since 1982, and there's a list here that I
0:31.8	cannot read of every other award and honor and association you're involved in, but I'm just going
0:38.8	to read one paragraph Dr. Rich has published approximately 400 peer reviewed original research papers
0:47.5	and I gravitas scientific journals. He has an age index for people who know what that is. This is
0:54.6	incredibly impressive of 104 with some 48,000 publication citations to date. He has served as a peer
1:04.0	reviewer on more than 60 scientific and medical journals. Dr. Rich has been an associate editor of
1:10.3	the Journal of the National Cancer Institute since 2000. He's a member of the board of editors
1:15.1	of the American Journal of Epidemiology from 2014 to 2020 and an editor of international
1:20.4	journal of the cancer in 2008. And those, that's just a little tiny tip of the iceberg from his
1:26.9	curriculum feedback, but those are the reasons that he was so dangerous to the medical establishment
1:34.4	when he started talking about the problems with with denying early access to treatments like
1:40.7	Ivermacken and hydroxychloroquine because he was impossible to dismount. Nobody could claim that
1:47.6	he was not one of the leading epidemiologists and they tried to attack him, but it was really no
1:53.4	legitimate way and they kind of just had to ignore him and brush him onto the rod, but your courageous
1:59.2	intervention at the beginning of the pandemic brought for those of us who were fighting in the shadows
2:05.8	total darkness of security and exile and bereic ship. Your decision to join the fight was really
2:12.6	kind of a monumental in the battle formation. You did your role from from France, ultimately
