    Obviously, Chris not your doctor (probably). This podcast is not medical advice for you; it is what we call information.

Entertaining, bold, (un)common scientific sense!

While searching online for the scientific truths about Covid, I came across Jonathon Jarry and Christopher Labos. i've listened to every podcast and appreciate the way they clearly define what they are talking about and their numerous interviews with researchers and journalists. I've also read many of the books written by their interviewees. I refer to and recommend this podcast in many of my conversations!
