Description

The three of us are back to bring you the latest from Europe. We're saddened by the (not so surprising) news that QED 2020 is now postponed to 2021, but whenever it is, we are looking forward to it. In the meantime check out Christian Lehmann's series of guest posts on Edzard Ernst's blog about the hydroxychloroquine controversy.
Jelena tells us the story of an alleged alien abduction in Poland more than 40 years ago, now commemorated with a stone memorial.
Pontus delves into the question of whether Pope Pius XII was indeed "Hitler's Pope" and then a selection of news from Europe:
- A scientist in the UK allegedly dies in a COVID-19 trial
- Follow-up on David Icke's YouTube channel - now suspended
- Countries faced with challenges in immunization programs while in lockdown
- Spanish beach sprayed with bleach to prevent coronavirus infections
- A patent from the Pasteur Institute that does NOT prove the alleged artificial origin of SARS-CoV-2
- The Heinz Oberhummer Award goes to German science populariser Mai Thai Nguyen-Kim
- German High Court rules that doctors can not selectively get rid of bad ratings
- Logical fallacies in easy-to-share format on ARP-SAPC's website
This week's Really Right Prize is given to the NHS UK for an excellent information page about homeopathy.

Enjoy!
