There’s a story we should have memorized by now.

Today, we call this resistance to new knowledge the “Semmelweis reflex.” A refusal to accept evidence because it feels wrong. Inconvenient. Uncomfortable.

In 2020, a new virus entered the room. For a brief moment, we acknowledged its danger. We locked down. We listened. Then we did something strange. We started pretending.

We pretended COVID was like the flu. We pretended the virus was done. We pretended masks didn’t matter. We pretended that catching it again and again didn’t carry long-term consequences. We pretended you could spot a contagious person just by looking at them.

Now, in 2025, pretending has consequences.

Covid for Doctors -- DR. Nancy Malek •  MBBS FANZCA • JUN 22, 2025
Even in 2025, doctors have accepted too many myths about COVID.  My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world. 

We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them.

We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
