  • Summary

  • In this episode we invite Dr. Ryan Marino, a triple-board-certified toxicologist, addiction specialist, and emergency physician known for his relentless battle against medical misinformation—particularly myths about fentanyl and drug policy onto the podcast to share his shocking experience of being targeted by Tucker Carlson, which led to online harassment, real-life threats, and even attempts to get him fired. Takeaways: The fentanyl “touch overdose” myth is still widely believed, despite overwhelming scientific evidence proving it’s impossible. Tucker Carlson’s attack on Dr. Marino led to real-world harassment, job threats, and an online mob—highlighting the risks of fighting misinformation. Social media is both a tool and a trap—it helps spread accurate medical information but also fuels toxic debates and misinformation. Proposed laws targeting fentanyl analogs may actually hurt public health by criminalizing research into safer treatment options. Doctors engaging in online advocacy can make a difference, but they also need support to withstand the backlash. — Want more Dr. Ryan Marino: BlueSky: @ryanmarino.bsky.social Instagram: @drryanmarino YouTube: @RyanMD We have an active survey going.
