November 2, 2016 // 2 Comments

https://theleagueofnerdsradio.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/1465.mp3 Unfortunately due to some computer problems James’ audio this week got scrambled and we had to use the G+ recording. Sorry, but instead of chucking the episode we decided to release it as a mid week surprise. Myles and James were joined by one of their favourite scientist, C0nc0rdance to talk about the film Vaxxed.

For such controversial findings the paper had an unusually small sample size [...]

Cut from the first draft of Myles vs katharine hamnett vid because it was running to long. This vid is 5 mins of me slagging off this Jacqui Smith who believes that scientists are being not being honest when it comes to MMR and GMO. I promise the vid this has been cut from (Myles vs katharine hamnett) will be full of science and less bitching. Also my hair looks awful :( think I need a hair cut. Katharine Hamnett’s Original [...]
