Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

Today’s episode is a quickie. We reminisce about the days when the left was skeptical of Big Pharma’s motives by covering an absolute debacle of a story that appeared in Rolling Stone and several other major publications—including The Hill—about how Oklahoma hospitals are turning away gunshot victims to treat Ivermectin overdoses. As it turns out, every detail of this story was fabricated. How did the entire journalistic profession fail to make the single phone call that would have vetted their source? How did they fail to confirm the (also debunked) article about 70% of Mississippi poison center calls being related to Ivermectin? (Spoiler alert: it’s 2%). What’s really behind the smear campaign around ivermectin? Whether it works against COVID or not, the surge in mainstream misinformation surrounding it is revealing. Is it a profit motive issue, an ideological issue, or something else?
