About this episode

Del Bigtree discusses the coordinated COVID response in Europe, media panic over vaccines, and the future of biohacking with guest Dave Asprey.

Del is back from Poland and France after touring with “An Inconvenient Study,” and one thing became clear: countries across Europe followed the same COVID playbook. The question is, who was coordinating the script? Del is determined to find out. Then, Jefferey Jaxen breaks down the media panic over RFK Jr., ACIP, and vaccines returning to the national spotlight, along with new questions about AI-designed vaccines and the latest concerns over the screwworm outbreak. Plus, biohacking pioneer Dave Asprey stops by the studio to discuss the cutting edge of longevity science—and why the future of extending human life may be closer than most people realize.
