Jonathan Howard, Neurologist and Psychiatrist from New York City's Langone and Bellevue Hospital joins the Butterfly Pavilion to talk about his book; "We Want Them Infected" which was the mantra of many characters at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic--many of those "comic book villains" are now in the United States Health and Human Services. We discuss his book and the "Great Barrington Declaration" which. like Project 2025 is a bit of a pseudoscience hymnal that was meant to provide sparce restrictions for the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Dr Howard was on the "front lines" of the onset of the pandemic at NYC's Bellevue Hospital. We talk about that experience and the injection of that pseudoscience in the vaccine schedule and guidance.

The Butterfly Pavilion Podcast is a father and daughter podcast about his stage IV cancer journey and trying to find light in darkness along the journey. Ty also has long Covid.

Ty's long Covid journey started in early 2020 with a mild onset of Covid but within six weeks, he could no longer run. He endured a 100 day fever that year that lead to a long medical journey seeking answers at National Jewish Health, Mayo Clinic, and RTHM Long Covid Clinic. His long Covid diagnosis includes damage to his body; neuropathy, vasculitis, endothelial and mitochondria damage, blood clots, and inflammation. With a broken immune system his oncology team said that it either caused or exacerbated his stage IV cancer.
