Episode notes
Lab Evidence Implicates mRNA Platform
- New translational research links myocarditis after mRNA shots to immune attack triggered by spike production.
- Bret Weinstein says this supports concern that the mRNA platform, not COVID, can provoke heart-targeting immune harm.
Institutional Corruption Eroded Trust

- Bret Weinstein calls the result a phony academy producing propaganda and eroding public trust.
