Summary
Forrest Maready is the author of “The Moth in the Iron Lung”, among other books. It tells a very different story of the Polio epidemic than the one you are likely familiar with, a story with radically different implications for health and medicine. Bret talks with Forest about his book and his interpretation of the evidence with an evolutionary bent to the conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. I am thrilled and honored to be sitting this morning with |
| 0:08.3 | Forest Moretti, who is an independent researcher whose books I have been grappling with. My suggestion to you at home |
| 0:18.4 | is that you find a chair and sit in it so you don't fall over when you hear some of what Forrest has to tell us. |
| 0:24.0 | Forrest, welcome to Dark Horse. |
| 0:26.0 | Hey Brett, thanks for having me. |

| 0:31.0 | I'm looking forward to an interesting conversation. |
| 0:34.6 | Yes, I have zero doubt it's going to be an interesting conversation. |
| 0:38.2 | Let's start with some basics. |
| 0:39.9 | You are an independent researcher who has through some mechanism that you will tell me, become deeply involved in questions surrounding eatrogenic harm that is harm done by doctors and |

| 1:47.2 | looking for answers and with me and my wife both got very curious and started doing |
| 1:52.4 | some reading and were I suppose |
| 1:55.9 | progressively horrified by what we started to find as we went down the proverbial |
