The Great Ventilator Fiasco of COVID19 | Are They Even Needed? Doctor Explains

First we're told we need thousands of ventilators. Now they might be hurting more than helping? How does this relate to the biggest challenge facing science today? And what's Elon Musk got to do with it?!

Science is front and centre like never before. But scientific thinking is lagging far behind. Somehow a normal healthy debate is twisted to support people with bizarre viewpoints.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Novak Djokovic, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Elon Musk fall foul of the same thing - a little knowledge going too far.

This topic was chosen in response to a poll where 10000 people voted! Thanks people, great to know what you're interested in so feel free to tell me. I know half the voters *didn't* vote for this so I am going to tackle those other topics soon too.
