As Eggman sits in for András, we look forward to SkeptiCamp at QED and Mike Hall’s Skeptics in the Pub Online talk and are happy to note that not only do we follow the ECDC, but they follow us back. In TWISH we hear about one of the forgotten(?) super villains of the Theosophy movement, Alice Bailey, and then we take a look at this week’s news:

• SWEDEN: Crystals sold to help fertility
• ISRAEL: Uri Geller says he used his psychic powers to break the navigation tools on Greta Thunberg’s Gaza flotilla ship, the Madleen, and warned that he would stop her if she comes to harm Israel.
• INTERNATIONAL: Teenage girls’ TikTok skincare regimes offer little to no benefit, research shows
• INTERNATIONAL: Are CO2 measurements reliable?
• UK: Is positive thinking a factor for heart patients?
• INTERNATIONAL: ‘After seeing the chiropractor, I was seeing things and blacking out’

A Swedish politician flat-out denies anthropogenic climate change and is handed this week’s Really Wrong Award.

Enjoy!
