Portada del episodio The Infectious Myth - Judy Wilyman on Vaccines and Censorship in Australia

Descripción

Judy Wilyman received a PhD with a thesis on the Australian vaccination schedule from a major Australian university. She was heavily criticized because, people said, it was awarded by the School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, and not medicine or hard core science. But she actually studied in science faculties, and it was just decided that a policy critique belonged in the humanities. Her thesis is very scholarly and probably ran into trouble merely because it is so critical of the government’s approach to vaccines, their lack of evidence for many claims they make, and the blatant conflicts of interest up to the highest levels of the government.    To read Judy’s thesis or find out more about her research, ideas and work, see: https://vaccinationdecisions.net

The Infectious Myth - Canadian University Tries to Cancel Gender Critical Feminist Professor Kathleen Lowrey

Kathleen Lowrey is an Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. She was asked to resign from her position of Associate Chair of the department because of anonymous complaints from students that she made them feel ‘unsafe’. She refused, and then was dismissed without reason. David and Kathleen talk about gender critical feminism as opposed to transgender rights activist, about safe spaces, about learning environments, academic freedom an more. Even JK Rowling and the hypocrisy of her publishing company Hachette, comes up. They strongly protected JK Rowling, but recently cancelled a Woody Allen biography faced with almost identical complaints from staff and authors. A wide ranging, casual conversation.

The Infectious Myth - Jim Gottstein on the Zyprexa Papers

Jim Gottstein’s legal education was interrupted by a psychological breakdown, but he managed to get back on his feet without becoming a lifetime drug consumer, completed his legal education at Harvard Law School, and turned his attention to helping others. So it was no surprise when internal Eli Lilly documents on the antipsychotic Zyprexa (Olanzapine) were sent to him. But the drug company did not like this and dragged him into a long drawn-out court battle to get him to close the barn door after the horses had fled (Jim had forwarded the documents to others, and not all of them returned and destroyed them). In this discussion, and in his book, “The Zyprexa Papers”, Jim also describes how he fought against the forced drugging of psychiatric patients in his home state of Alaska. Another long, drawn-out battle, with some successes, some failures.   For more on Jim’s work see:http://gottsteinlaw.com [http://gottsteinlaw.com/]andhttp://psychrights.org [http://psychrights.org/]
