Aflevering I Stood Up For The Public Interest And Risked Everything For An Open Scientific Discussion - Rogier Louwen

On June 21, 2022, the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam the Netherlands summarily dismissed their scientist Rogier Louwen. Shortly thereafter, we recorded this interview, agreeing to publish it only after the trial would be over. The story Louwen tells is that of a whistleblower who conducted an EU-funded investigation into pandemics. Both internally and externally, he pointed at the potential dangers and risks of the public health strategies chosen at the time, based on sound scientific research, after which he was fired. In his backyard, Louwen candidly tells his first-hand story about the investigation he led, the run-up to the dismissal and what that did to him and his team.
