Censoring Science: ACSH Tackles COVID, Free Speech on 'The Vance Crowe Podcast'

Censorship in science, GMOs, opioids and the health effects of porn use. Come listen to my wide-ranging discussion with podcaster Vance Crowe.

Earlier this week, I sat down with podcaster Vance Crowe to discuss the fallout from the government's efforts to restrict misinformation on social media, especially their effects on the public's trust in science. We also examined the evolving debate over the safety of GM crops and pesticides, opioid regulation and the growing body of research on the health effects of porn use.
