- **Published:** 2026-10-11

Biologist Bret Weinstein discusses the suspicious nature of the reported plague death in Russia, suggesting that a global outbreak would imply either a psychological operation or gain-of-function enhancement. Weinstein argues that wild-type plague rarely becomes a global pandemic in the modern era. He posits that if the incident scales, it may be a coordinated effort to manipulate public fear using a disease with a high fatality rate.

### Spike Protein and mRNA Vaccine Immune Suppression

Bret Weinstein explains a theory regarding IgG4 antibodies triggered by mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which may turn down the body's immune response to the spike protein. He suggests that a bad actor could theoretically engineer a pathogen with a spike protein "flag" to exploit the suppressed immune systems of vaccinated populations in the West. The hosts also note a recent surge in severe flu cases among public figures.

Biologist Bret Weinstein outlines a theoretical scenario where short, intense lockdowns could be justified to drive a novel pathogen to extinction before it becomes endemic. He specifies that such a measure would only be valid for a high-virulence pathogen jumping from animals to humans. However, he emphasizes that no current national or international government can be trusted with such power.
