In the eighty-ninth episode we explore Survivorship Bias, starting with Trump talking to literal survivors of coronavirus about using hydroxychloroquine, and telling people not to be afraid of Covid after he survived it, and South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace citing a study on natural immunity that relies heavily on this fallacy.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at MPs on both sides of the aisle claiming victory following the votes of no confidence against Theresa May.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Pirates of the Caribbean, QI, and The Wrestler, and the real life story of Abraham Wald.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we talk about the many conspiracy theories right-wingers immediately came up with when the Omicron variant emerged.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
