A couple years ago, Dr. Z. deconstructed Dr. Peter McCullough's interview with Joe Rogan. The deconstruction seemed rational and scientific, but much of it was not. In this video, Dr. Kumar highlights the misrepresentations of science and reason that happen so often in healthcare and public health communication–all in the name of health no less. If we truly want health, we must apply steady clarity to unpopular and difficult issues regardless of whether they are considered conspiratorial or not.
