ETC LIVE Ep.10 "What is the Deal with this F'N Pandemic!?"
I am beyond excited to bring you today's episode with my long-time social media buddy Avisha also known as "Distilled Science" on TikTok. Avisha is a COVID scientist/researcher who has been a reliable source of information to many and hundreds of thousands of others throughout this pandemic. He has an excellent track record of dismantling misinformation in a fun and engaging way. With the fast pace of change this virus presents, he is able to use his platform to provide frequent updates on what we know to be true and false at any given moment using sound scientific rigor. I have been following this pandemic quite closely and have done my best to stay informed, but I still had so many questions that I felt would benefit me and the rest of you all as a layperson. Below are but a few of the topics we covered.
* Where we are at two years into this pandemic very few thought would last this long
* Looking back, what have we done right in our response and where have we fallen short
* How to use critical thinking to decide what messages to trust
* The state of the scientific community and reasons to trust it and be skeptical at the same time
* How do we balance free speech and trying to reduce deadly misinformation
* Dr. Robert Malone on Joe Rogan and the responsibility of large platforms to pull content
* Thinking errors we are susceptible to
* The uniqueness of COVID-19 and its ability to wreak havoc
* The importance of effective scientific communication and why that can be so difficult
* How Avisha thinks we should move forward in a balanced approach
* How to weigh the costs and benefits of COVID precautions and understand the damage they may cause
* How natural immunity stacks up against the vaccine
* One of Avisha’s heroes Bill Nye and how maybe he should have been in a role like Fauci
* One of my favorite scenes in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that I felt brilliantly encapsulated the history and psychology of science denial. Link to that clip here.
I am confident you will enjoy this as much as I did!
