This was a great episode. It absolutely brought home the science, all the while skewering all the misinformation around it. It explained the science perfectly and, again, cut through all the nonsense that was being posted at the time (and to some extent still is). It really does show that many people will not believe in the work of real science but will essentially look for other things to cure something that they do not understand (we saw this with the various plagues throughout history). Overall this is a really strong episode in favour of a scientific solution and tells people in a funny way that nonsense is just that.
If there is a scientific basis underneath something, look at it.
