This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Mike Yeadon is a former Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer for allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer, where he spent 16 years developing new medicines before founding his own biotech company, Ziarco.With a PhD in pharmacology and over 30 years in pharmaceutical research, Mike became one of the most prominent voices challenging the official Covid narrative. He was amongst the first credentialed scientists to call out the government's 'lethally incompetent' scientific advice, arguing that lockdowns were based on flawed PCR testing that produced massive numbers of false positives.Mike consistently warned that the so-called 'second wave' was fabricated through dodgy testing protocols, pointing out that respiratory deaths in late 2020 were actually lower than in previous years. His outspoken criticism of the experimental Covid injections—which he argued were 'toxic by design' and failed to prevent illness or transmission—led to widespread censorship across social media platforms.➡️ Mike's Substack

It involves over 100 contributors and includes experienced microbiologists and geneticists. Virology Control Studies explores scepticism that surrounds the existence of viruses with vivid metaphors that illustrate misinterpretation in virology.Jamie argues that methods used by virologists lead to false conclusions. He suggests that if you falsify the physical thing that virologists claim is a virus, then viruses do not actually exist.💸 Support UK Column's independence

Jobstdistinguishes between scientific hypes, like climate change and COVID-19, andcultural hypes, such as diversity and inclusion.Whilst some hype cycles may have organic roots, he suggests they are oftenexploited by rulers to reinforce their power. The discussion moves on to thecyclical nature of hypes, with Jobst noting that they repeat over time withchanging content, before emphasising the importance of resisting particularlyharmful cycles.

Please keep us independent by going to support.ukcolumn.org.Steven Young explores the complexities of modern science with a particular focus on nuclear physics and the critique of scientific legitimacy. The conversation examines how fear intersects with science, the historical context of alchemy, and what Steven sees as the absurdities of astrophysics.Steven shares his journey from nuclear physicist to music producer. His perspective rather interestingly bridges the gap between physics and music through wave theory.He emphasises the need for a more holistic understanding of knowledge that moves beyond narrow specialisation.Steven questions the existence of atoms and viruses in current scientific discourse and adds that fear has become a tool to control how people perceive science.📺 Watch video episode
