Nathaniel Mead, an epidemiologist, public health researcher, and science editor, returns to the podcast to discuss a crucial and often-overlooked issue in scientific publishing—censorship. With decades of experience, including serving on the editorial board of Integrative Cancer Therapies, Nathaniel sheds light on the retraction of a groundbreaking paper questioning the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

From personal experiences with censorship in the 1990s to facing retractions driven by pharmaceutical influence, Nathaniel’s journey underscores the challenges scientists encounter when challenging prevailing narratives. How did the pharmaceutical industry pressure journals to silence dissenting voices? What does this mean for the integrity of medical research moving forward?

Join us as we uncover:

• The process behind retractions and how they can be weaponized.
• The growing influence of the pharmaceutical industry on scientific journals.
• The psychological and societal impact of censorship and propaganda during the pandemic.
• Why Nathaniel believes a new scientific publishing system is essential for preserving free speech and scientific inquiry.
