I finally had a chance to sit down and read this. There are some interesting points. Notably should a podcast be treated as media and therefore subjected to same censorship when they intentionally disperse false information. Yet we know that is loosely followed in our country anyways so the idea of censoring him would be political posturing IMO.

I do have a problem with some of his logic. In his analysis of the first claim he uses the phrase "we know" when referring to studies but then referring to exact same issue and discussion of the longitudinal effects of myocarditis says "too early to know full effects" IMO that would be a classic example of logical fallacy especially since he doesn't reference higher rates of myocarditis in unvaccinated youth that end up with Covid. Once again longitudinally too early to tell if there is significance but I see no problem with acknowledging the difference between acute and chronic in these opinions and he should have.

His analysis of the second claim was well. I do wish he would have tackled the topic question more head on what in the policy and why it ignores. I think it would have opened a some interesting discussion.

I am not going to even touch that third claim.

The analysis of the fourth claim I think we have to be mindful that the opinion of an individual should have no bearing on the uncovering of facts. However I think we probably all agree that cherry picking facts to fit a narrative is a live and well.

I really enjoy reading those articles. Thanks for sharing.
