During the pandemic, quite a few people did join anti-vaccine groups. You very quickly and efficiently radicalize yourself into a violent far right conspiracy cult without having any intention of doing so. There's also a way in which you can get sucked into these things and not necessarily see its fundamental political nature. But if you're someone who comes in through the wellness track or the anti vax track, you might not necessarily like it.
Special guest Mike Rothschild tells us how the road to wellness can be an on-ramp to a conspiracy theory. Along the way we debunk oil pulling, explore Instagram aesthetics and bemoan anti-vaxx argumentation tactics . Mike gets the date of the January 6th insurrection wrong and he is sorry.
