Episode Details

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince are back after a week off and hitting the ground running. RFK signed a PREP Act declaration for hantavirus that had the internet in full meltdown mode for 48 hours until people actually read it: no vaccines, no mandates, just a two-month window for one antiviral drug. Alpha gal syndrome is up 10,000% in a decade and RFK is publicly alarmed, citing cases on Martha's Vineyard and launching the most ambitious federal Lyme disease effort ever. A screwworm case just turned up in Texas for the first time in decades. The USDA's Great American Cotton Plan pushes natural fibers over microplastic-laden polyester, and Jordan breaks down why even your organic cotton shirt might be dirtier than you think. The FDA apparently has no idea how many chemicals are in the American food supply, somewhere between 4,000 and 12,000. And one heroic dose of psilocybin just gave an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient her memory, speech, and bladder control back.
