Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on mRNA Persistence, Nattokinase, and the Fight Over COVID-19 Treatment"&nbsp;Six&nbsp;years after standing before the US&nbsp;Senate and calling out the pandemic&nbsp;response in real time, Dr. Peter&nbsp;McCullough returns with new evidence on&nbsp;where the spike protein came from, how&nbsp;long it persists in the body after&nbsp;infection or vaccination, and what's&nbsp;being done to break it down. This&nbsp;episode traces the science from a 2015&nbsp;gain-of-function paper to a patient&nbsp;still showing circulating spike protein&nbsp;3.6 years after vaccination.&nbsp;&nbsp;Get Dr. McCullough's free spike protein guide: <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0649/7658/4920/files/TWC_Spike-Covid-Guide_v2_2026.pdf?v=1770911405" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">myfreespikeguide.com</a>&nbsp;Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Peter McCullough, a physician trained in internal medicine, cardiology, and epidemiology, and one of the most published and most censored voices of the COVID-19 pandemic. He authored the first multi-drug treatment protocol for COVID-19, testified before the US Senate in 2020 and again in 2025, and has published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature on vaccine safety, spike protein biology, and early treatment. His book Courage to Face COVID-19 and his most recent New York Times bestseller, Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality, examine the history and science behind vaccine policy.&nbsp;Dave and Dr. McCullough trace the origins of the spike protein back to 2015 and 2016 research papers describing a lab-created, SARS-like coronavirus explicitly labeled "poised for human emergence," and discuss the funding, institutions, and researchers involved. They break down why synthetic mRNA vaccines resist the body's normal RNA breakdown process, what a patient case revealed about spike protein circulating 3.6 years after vaccination, and how nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has shown the ability to break the spike protein down. They also cover the suppression campaigns against ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, the wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation" and "anti-vaxxer," and what Dr. McCullough says he would do differently if he ran HHS. The conversation closes with new research on cognitive superagers, the small percentage of people who reach 100 with intact memory and health.&nbsp;You'll Learn:&nbsp;<ul><li>Why 2015 and 2016 research papers described a lab-created coronavirus as "poised for human emergence" years before the pandemic&nbsp;</li><li>Why synthetic mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines resists the body's natural RNA breakdown process&nbsp;</li><li>What one patient's case revealed about spike protein still circulating 3.6 years after vaccination&nbsp;</li><li>How nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has been shown to break down the spike protein&nbsp;</li><li>Why the FDA and FTC targeted ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and companies selling nasal sprays during the pandemic&nbsp;</li><li>The wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation," "disinformation," and "anti-vaxxer"&nbsp;</li><li>What Dr. McCullough says he would do first if he were running HHS&nbsp;</li><li>What research on cognitive superagers reveals about the small number of people who reach 100 with intact health&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;Thank you to our sponsors!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- TrueDark | Visit&nbsp;<a href="http://truedark.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">truedark.com</a>&nbsp;and use code DAVEASPREY15 (discount applies to all frames except Aegis)&nbsp;- ZenBud | Dave’s Nervous System Biohack.
