This week we reflect a on the new vaccines that are coming. Annika sings(!) to celebrate the quiz performance of Pontus, Brian and Claire last week and then she tells us about a memorial for fallen aliens, announced ten years ago this week. Pontus Pokes the Pope for a whole lot of serious things and for liking a sexy butt on his Instagram account. Then we get into the news:

Patriarch Irinej and his Darwin-Award worthy story
New book out about teaching biology in schools with health education and skepticism
The Debunking Handbook 2020 – German translation now available
French debate about making covid-vaccination mandatory
Darwin’s notebooks reported stolen from Cambridge University Library
German Green Party no longer backs homeopathy
World Wild Web – A new critical thinking game
Spanish Government to decide what is harmful fake news
Portuguese court rules based on misunderstanding science of covid tests
Surprisingly, acupuncture is useless for people recovering from breast surgery
No, Danish study doesn’t show masks are useless
Also, the stupid (and very expensive) “Qi-tech” devices get this week’s Really Wrong award.

Enjoy!
