#220: Spamdemic

#220: Spamdemic Cellar Door Skeptics take on a variety of topics this week. They start by discussing Bryan Adams ridiculous instagram post that shows his ignorance and racist tendencies. They also cover why people are blaming the Ohio Medical Expert instead of the governor. They examine how the ridicule is focused on women mainly verses being skeptical about the information shared. The next topic they tackle is if doxing has ever deterred white supremacists or if they have gotten a free pass. The end of the show covers the recent short movie called Plandemic and the team debunks the recent garbage that has come across the ethers.
