Was Zika 2016 Another Fraud Pandemic Of Panic? w/ Dr. Randy Bock & Warner Mendenhall – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 441

Ask Dr. Drew

In 2016, the WHO predicted millions of cases of Zika in America and sparked global panic when the virus was connected to newborn microcephaly – a birth defect causing smaller head size and impaired brain development. But Dr. Randy Bock says Zika was just another pandemic of panic. The physician alleges that no clinical testing existed when cases were first reported and diagnoses relied on simple questionnaires. When proper testing was later implemented, no significant link between Zika and microcephaly was found – which he says is evidence that institutional interests were the real driving force behind the health scare.

Dr. Randy Bock is a physician and author. A Yale graduate with a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics, he earned his M.D. from the University of Rochester. Dr. Bock authored “Overturning Zika” and has published extensive research on pandemic response and healthcare innovation. Follow him at https://x.com/DrRandallBock
