Any chance you guys have access to that paper that Cara mentioned regarding " blowing hot air into the lungs" i have a nurse friend who's digging their heels in on ivermectin ( do i need to mention that they're in Florida) and they keep referring to all these "papers" about its efficacy. Of course, I do not find them in all my studies, but I referred this friend to this episode and the segment about "zombie science" and they immediately started trying to pick apart everyone's credentials, and seemed pretty hung up on an off the cuff remark about an absurdity that was mentioned from one of the papers. I told this person I would try to find it

I stopped using the word research, instead I say I studied it or looked into it. I always slammed every professor who said, "Don't use WikiPedia. Anyone can edit it." The class would usually dogpile on WP, then I would stop the conversation with "WikiPedia provides a good overview and is usually very well cited, I follow the citations back to the sources. I can use those." Not once has anyone ever refuted it.
