In this episode we note that skeptics in Germany has raised a lot of money to support victims of the floods. Formidable Dutch skeptic Frits van Dam passed away on 26 July and we want to honor his memory. Listener Marcel-Jan has written a great blog post about his experience with growing up in a woo-family and eventually finding skepticism, and then we get a Polish lesson from listener Max. In This Week we hear about Carl Jung, and then we dig into the news:

- Emerging fake news regarding catastrophic floods:
- Querdenker fake ”official” car in flood area
- Greta Thunberg sticker on flooded car
- Climate change scientists call for better computers to work on forecasts
- Galileo project to look for UFOs
- Vaccine passport rules approved in France despite protests
- Chiropractor found professionally liable for harming patient with bogus therapy
- Follow-up: Doctor who sold fake covid test results gets prison sentence
- New info on the Spanish skeptical congress
We have a double whammy and a bonus for the Really Wrong segment: First for rasist health care in Sweden and then Eric Clapton and Nena demonstrate why artists should never voice their view on covid restrictions.
