I am your host, Wilk Wilkinson. Your blue-collar sage, calming outrage and helping to navigate a world divided by FOG, & those who spread that fear, outrage, and grievance. Each week Iโm sharing stories from my path & using the power of conversation and collaboration with great guests. Together, we chart a course toward understanding, bridging divides, and fostering a community where wisdom prevails over discord.
Friends, it really is about bettering the world, one attitude at a time. We did not create the hate, but together we can Derate The Hate. The only good thing about a bad attitude is we have the ability as individuals to change it. For me, it starts with gratitude and personal accountability.
Wilk is a devoted husband, a loving father, & a Christian conservative. His journey through life has been marked by resilience, introspection, and a commitment to learning from his mistakes.

I recently had the opportunity to facilitate and amazing conversation at Temple University between investigative journalist & author David Zweig and epidemiologist Dr. Maciej Boni. The topic: use & effectiveness of NPIs (non-pharmaceutical interventions) during the pandemic response.
Was keeping kids out of school effective? Was it the right move or was it an overreaction?

Derate The Hate
Dr. George Tidmarsh, newly appointed Director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), joined Derate the Hate back in July '24 to discuss the troubling shift from academic freedom to academic censorship in American science.
In this powerful 2:50 clip, Dr. Tidmarsh explains how funding restrictionsโparticularly through agencies like the NIHโwere narrowing the scope of acceptable scientific inquiry. He highlights how decision-making power had become concentrated among a small group, stifling bold, innovative ideas and reinforcing existing narratives.

Thank you to โช@BraverAngelsโฌ for the opportunity to have this great conversation. The "Covid divide" may be one of the most contentious issues of our time, but that does not me the conversations about how to do better cannot be civil. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Matt Willis provide and excellent example of how civil conversations on contentious topics can work. #betterway #civility #covid-19 #pandemic #NIH #CDC #NIAID #GreatBarringtonDeclaration #pandemicresponse #marincounty #Stanford #DerateTheHate
