This week we geek out a bit about the landing of Perseverance on Mars, we (again) ponder the chances to become an ESA astronaut. Facebook stupidly believes Europe is a place in Australia and takes it out on this podcast. Idiots. (Speaking of Downunder, you should check out the Skeptic Zone and their logical fallacies series). We talk about Dolly the sheep who was presented to the public this week 24 years ago, and then Pontus reluctantly admits that the Pope did something good, sort of. Then, of course, we look at the news:

Early results show an 85% drop in symptomatic cases after first vaccine dose
Excess deaths in Sweden lower than European Average
Study says: Everyone believes at least one conspiracy theory
Viral video doesn’t show what it says
Vitamin D-COVID-19 preprint removed from Lancet server
The COVID Cube – to help you make the right decision about a COVID vaccine
Homeopaths’ hardships abound
Are Extremists less able to do complex mental tasks?
Fake medicine – New book out
Well, Facebook definitely needs a geography lesson, and for that they are Really Wrong.

Enjoy!
