Bad Influence Got the Problems Right but the Solutions Wrong - A Book Review
About this episode
Esther reviews the book 'Bad Influence' by Deborah Cohen, discussing its insights and her disagreements with the proposed solutions.
The BMJ called Bad Influence "a timely and eye-opening investigation...essential reading," but spoiler: I don’t agree. I found the reporting solid, and she made good points about how social media prioritizes stories over science, but I disagreed with nearly every solution. As an American who values free speech and medical autonomy, I want control over my health and freedom to speak. The author’s UK, socialized-medicine perspective leads her to lean toward regulation and centralized answers — that’s just not my worldview. I gave the book two stars: worth reading if you want to understand the problems, but don’t expect the proposed fixes to support medical autonomy nor freedom of speech.
