Tom opens this week’s livestream with two announcements: Tom thanks everyone who participated in the Dr. Cowan’s Garden Anniversary Sale & the DrTomCowan.com annual spring sale and expresses gratitude to customers for their continued support. -Registration remains open for the New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June. Tom shares his excitement about the music, dancing, lectures, food, and connection planned for the event. New Biology Experience link here. Highlights from this session include: -Tom opens with commentary on a new rabies shot for animals, criticizing the short testing window, the use of animals in vaccine experiments, and the broader logic behind veterinary vaccination. -He points listeners to the Rethinking GBS: Beyond the Germ Theory webinar for a deeper look at Group B strep, calling it an important issue for pregnant women and arguing that the testing and treatment surrounding it are unnecessary. -Tom reads from an essay on “the hyperreality of the state,” using it to explore how models, indicators, and simulations have replaced lived reality not only in economics, but also in medicine, biology, and science more broadly. -He closes with a critique of modern theoretical physics, focusing on the idea of “asymptotic freedom” and using everyday examples to argue that scientific models have drifted far from observable reality. Tom closes the session by encouraging viewers to keep questioning official narratives, stay grounded in lived experience, and continue exploring the world through direct observation rather than theory alone.
