Hello and welcome to Sears Inquiries. Only this is episode 399. I'm Thomas O. Wow, 399. Almost 400.

I have to celebrate by doing an episode. Anyway, I'm very excited to bring you a science thingy.

This is a very bad science thing, a very incredibly bad science thingy, but that's even more important

perhaps to explain than some of the good science thingies. Today's guest is Kelly Burke and she's

going to take us through. I love the sales pitch for the episode and I think you will too. Look,

we all know the Andrew Wakefield study that led to the whole vaccines cause autism bullshit is bullshit.

But Kelly's pitch for this episode was, yeah, but I don't think you know the half of it. Yeah,

no, I don't know the half of it. I might not even know the tenth of it. And so Kelly's going to

take us through some of the surrounding facts, how this happened and just how unbelievably bad this,

I don't even call this science thingy. We'll call it a thingy. Those misused for science is so buckle

go to patreon.com slash series pot. I super duper promise that Sam three good will hunting will be

out soon. I pinky swear times infinity that there's a very good reason why I've been a little delayed.

So look forward to that in the meantime. Enjoy this auto ad. Psych if you're a patron. Enjoy

the rest of the show. Kelly Burke, how are you doing today? I'm good. I'm still getting over being

a bit sick, but I am happy to be here. Speak for yourself. Never been sick of my life. That's,

I don't want to hear your problems. Don't even bring that here. Gosh, unprofessional. All right,

cut that. You say my problems, but you have to edit the coughs out. So that's true.

Good luck. It's all of our problem. No, I'm hopefully you're feeling better soon. Yeah,

I still don't have fully my voice. You know, the first thing to go is the falsetto register,

and that's heartbreaking. You're a music person. You don't realize how much you use that falsetto

register, at least I do, for your kids, you know, like just doing the kid like the, you know,
