### Ivermectin Suppression and Anti-CRISPR Protein Research

- **Episode:** [1354: FAQs 4 Hacks](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1354-faqs-4-hacks.md)
- **Published:** 2021-06-10
- **Time:** 33:27–35:59
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1354-faqs-4-hacks/chapter/ivermectin-suppression-and-anti-crispr-protein-research.md

The FDA and GAVI (The Vaccine Alliance) issued warnings against using Ivermectin for COVID-19, with the FDA specifically highlighting the dangers of using animal-grade versions of the drug. Simultaneously, research published in Chemical & Engineering News discusses the emergence of anti-CRISPR proteins. These naturally occurring proteins can potentially inhibit the gene-editing capabilities of CRISPR technology, which is a foundational tool for mRNA development.

### Dolph Lundgren vs. Bill Nye, Scientific Credentials, Snopes Fact-Check

- **Episode:** [925: Barry's Choice](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/925-barry-s-choice.md)
- **Published:** 2017-04-30
- **Time:** 1:13:23–1:17:36
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/925-barry-s-choice/chapter/dolph-lundgren-vs-bill-nye-scientific-credentials-snopes-fact-check.md

A viral meme compares the scientific credentials of actor Dolph Lundgren and Bill Nye, noting Lundgren's Master's in Chemical Engineering and Fulbright scholarship. The hosts review a Snopes fact-check that labeled the meme "problematic" because Lundgren didn't finish his degree at Washington State. They argue Snopes has become a politicized tool for protecting establishment figures like Nye.

### Reddit Criticism, Citric Acid vs Vitamin C, and Host Expertise

- **Episode:** [710: Joy Brigade](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/710-joy-brigade.md)
- **Published:** 2015-04-05
- **Time:** 1:10:47–1:14:46
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/710-joy-brigade/chapter/reddit-criticism-citric-acid-vs-vitamin-c-and-host-expertise.md

Criticism from the No Agenda Reddit community regarding the hosts' knowledge is addressed, specifically a correction about citric acid versus ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). The hosts defend their broad expertise in sectors ranging from chemical engineering and firefighting to aviation and media deconstruction, despite occasional real-time errors.

Keywords: [reddit](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/reddit.md), citric acid, [vitamin c](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/vitamin-c.md), ascorbic acid, [chemical engineering](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/chemical-engineering.md), [firefighting](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/firefighting.md)

### Whelen Engineering, Emergency Announcement Scripts

- **Episode:** [503: Ninjas in Mongolia](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/503-ninjas-in-mongolia.md)
- **Published:** 2013-04-11
- **Time:** 1:29:19–1:32:36
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/503-ninjas-in-mongolia/chapter/whelen-engineering-emergency-announcement-scripts.md

Whelen Engineering produces the pre-recorded voices used in Giant Voice systems for scenarios like chemical releases and terrorist alerts. The hosts critique the "boring" delivery of the official recordings and attempt to perform their own versions of the scripts. They highlight the absurdity of instructions like "please follow procedure" during a vague "terrorist alert."

Keywords: whelen engineering, chemical release, terrorist alert, emergency scripts

### Technical Necessity of Seasonal Gasoline Blends and Octane

- **Episode:** [385: CIA vs DIA](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/385-cia-vs-dia.md)
- **Published:** 2012-02-23
- **Time:** 1:38:46–1:43:02
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/385-cia-vs-dia/chapter/technical-necessity-of-seasonal-gasoline-blends-and-octane.md

Analytical chemistry reveals that gasoline must be blended differently for winter and summer to ensure proper engine ignition and performance. Using low-octane fuel in high-compression engines can lead to pre-ignition and "knocking," potentially causing long-term damage to the vehicle's cylinders.

Keywords: [gasoline](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/gasoline.md), [octane](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/octane.md), [butane](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/butane.md), engine knocking, [chemical engineering](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/chemical-engineering.md)

### MRI Global Promo and Humanoid Defense Robots

- **Episode:** [292: Obama Needs Water](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/292-obama-needs-water.md)
- **Published:** 2011-04-03

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/292-obama-needs-water/chapter/mri-global-promo-and-humanoid-defense-robots.md

A promotional video for MRI Global highlights the company's work in renewable energy, vaccine development, and defense technology. The company specifically touts its engineering of humanoid robots designed to safeguard troops from chemical and biological weapons. The hosts mock the corporate jargon and the high cost of these "problem solver" initiatives.
