In this episode, we venture boldly into the unsettling future of American healthcare as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. steps into the most controversial cabinet role of the new administration: Secretary of Health and Human Services. With a track record of questioning vaccine safety and promoting alternative health narratives, RFK Jr.'s appointment signals a seismic shift in the way the U.S. may tackle public health, disease research, and scientific integrity.

But what lies ahead for the nation's health system? Will we see a return to an era of pseudoscience and unchecked rhetoric, or will Kennedy's leadership spark an unexpected revolution? As the lines between medical expertise and ideological warfare blur, we ask: Is this the dawn of a new era in healthcare — or the beginning of a health policy apocalypse?

Tune in, because this ride through the future of HHS could leave you wondering if we’re on the verge of a cure… or a crisis.

A fungal infection turning the entire human race into mushroom headed zombies...of course the guys from Viral Load are all in. On this episode Brett and Andy take a look at the fungal series that is causing an HBO Pandemic. Could Cordyceps really mutate and take over the human race? Are there any examples of fungal infections causing epidemics or pandemics throughout history? Did David Attenborough show us our future through zombified ants while lulling us into submission with his sweet soothing voice? And just how afraid of the fungus among us should we be?
