In this episode, David presents a slightly different format by playing clips from the current media and commenting on them. He begins the episode with some listener feedback and some news items. Then, in the first clip, Susan Reverby describes how she uncovered a series of U.S. experiments in Guatemala (now deemed unethical), where prostitutes and prison inmates were inoculated with syphilis. David points out the distorted logic and the lack of evidence for sexual transmission of the disease.
