Would it be possible to actually flag 3414 with the information to the
CDC or other reputable source of information? Similar to how YouTube
and other services flag posts like this?

Most listeners of HPR are not on this mailing list. I propose we
combat the
disinformation in 3414 with *several* episodes of correct
information. I
believe the best cure for ignorance is knowledge.
People already believe that "critical thinking" (read: ignoring
scientific
evidence and "doing your own research" even though you have no
access to Covid
patients or laboratories) will expose "the truth" behind Covid.
Episode 3414
isn't introducing anybody to these ideas.
Episodes in response to it, however, could be the thing that gives
someone the
courage to stop all of their head-in-the-sand "critical thinking"
and to start
listening to the experts.
I'm happy to do an episode in response, and in fact I'll post one
later today.
I'd be happier still if anybody responding to this thread does the
same.
