⁣Pediatrician Risa Hoshino rapidly rose to the level of “influencer” during the pandemic with her reports from the front lines of the battle against COVID. But now according to an investigation by a blogger, Hoshino has been exposed as a fraud who apparently spent most of the pandemic treating patients remotely, and lying about the long hours and difficulties faced by the myriad children she treated with so-called “long COVID.”

Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the revelations of Dr. Hoshino’s misrepresentations, and what impact her lies must have had on the COVID discourse in the United States.
