Anuvab Pal and Kunaal Roy Kapur return with the monsoon, and as always, the mosquitoes have them pondering the connections to history. Their chat then dives into the hilarious chaos of healthcare in India and America, from the peculiar ritual of blood tests to the indignity of a stool sample. The episode culminates in a truly unforgettable story about a world leader and a very peculiar "poop case", the perfect comedic, and slightly shocking, end to a discussion on all things medical.

The White House has declared war on Latin American drug cartels. Although this seems like great news, has anyone stopped to ask if the goal is to shut down competition? Recent executive orders from May stripped regulations for domestic pharmaceutical production in the United States and attempted to create a direct-to-consumer purchasing program to subvert insurance companies. This is in a country that consumes more pharmaceutical drugs than any other on planet Earth. Likewise, the opioid crisis was created by the same industry. There are more bad actors than just the stereotypical south of the border drug cartels as we also learned with Iran-Contra. HHS secretary RFK Junior is furthermore being praised for cutting 22 mRNA programs and saving $500 million, yet few are catching the crucial details about his openly stated agenda to create a universal Covid and flu vaccine instead, or the coincidental nature of that amount of money being exactly the amount needed for the Stargate gene therapy program. Meanwhile, as we have seen recently with more genetically modified mosquitoes being dropped in Hawaii, the Chikungunya virus is supposedly spreading in China; and US media, while saying there is no threat, has blamed it on mosquitoes the same week that an active shooter roamed the streets near the CDC headquarters. The shooter took his vaccine and blamed it for why he got sick, creating a PR campaign backed by the pharmaceutical companies to call him an anti-vaxxer who had mental health issues. Something strange is brewing. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

BEST OF TSTSHOW 1: In 2008 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation financed Jichi Medical University in Japan to develop “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” The initiative was aimed at creating a “flying syringe, to deliver protective vaccine via saliva.” In 2010 they gave money to UK-based biotech company Oxitec to develop genetically modified mosquitoes that could be lethal to carriers of dengue, zika, and yellow fever. Science Magazine published a report that year on this Japanese research and discussed what they called “flying vaccinators.” In 2015 the people of Florida, set to be the Oxitec testing ground, signed a petition against such open-air lab trials. In 2021 the trial proceeded regardless and in April 2022 Nature published a report on the results which found that although mosquitoes died in large numbers there was no reduction in disease spread or need for pesticides, which often cause the very symptoms of the diseases. A few days ago a mosquito-malaria-vaccine trial was carried out in Washington State. Of 14 participants, 7 were diagnosed with malaria leading researchers to declare their mosquito-vaccine was 50% effective. However, they made no mention of how the other half of the group could be exposed to ‘malaria' and yet not develop the disease with its vague ‘symptom complex' list. There is no question why such a malaria vaccine should be tested in the U.S. where cases rarely top 2,000 and where death rarely reaches double digits. Meanwhile, Africa is home to 95% of cases and 96% of deaths, while India is home to most of the world's polio. It is likely these ‘disease' are caused by environment, as demonstrated by official WHO data, rather than tiny invisible particles. While focus has been on the mosquito, the NIH and B&MGF have also been researching a needle-less vaccine. Such research goes back to Spain in 1999 where researchers were able to spread vaccine-induced antibodies to non-vaccinated rabbits via vaccinated rabbits. All was done in natural interaction without needle, misquotes, or any other tool. SHOW 2: Malaria is supposedly on the rise in the United States, where seven cases between Florida and Texas have been reported in the last few weeks. The CDC issued a public health alert as a result and the media collectively is spreading the terror of malaria with graphs, charts, stories, and symptoms. The strange thing is that malaria is always present, particularly in those two states, where in 2012 cases were 102 in Texas and 59 in Florida. Over the years those numbers went up and down, peaking in 2019 and then dropping significantly in 2020. This is why the media can claim cases are on the rise even if they are below the previous decade peak. From NPR to the New Scientist there are, of course, solutions to this terrible outbreak that isn't much of an outbreak: vaccines and genetically modified mosquitoes that could produce antibodies against malaria parasite. However, these same genetically modified insects have been in development since 2008 and were released in Florida after 2015. They were created with money from the B&MGF: “a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein.” But what if gm-mosquitoes are another alternative lab-leak theory? Malaria's symptoms are themselves invariably described in the same way that heat stroke symptoms are: headaches, fever, muscle aches, nausea, etc. Any mosquito issue, genetically modified or otherwise, can of course be treated with new drugs and chemicals, like the Pyriproxyfen that caused Microcephaly which was blamed on zika and mosquitos. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Genetically Modified Black Magic (7/29/25)

A collection of lab-reared mosquitoes were dumped on Hawaii in June 2025. In 2008 the Gates Foundation paid Jichi Medical University $100,000 “to design a mosquito that can produce and secrete a malaria vaccine protein into a host's skin.” In 2010 Science Magazine online called these mosquitoes “flying vaccinators.” Years later genetically modified mosquitos were released in California and Florida, along with countries like Brazil. The reasoning varies: to stop invasive species, to breed away disease carriers, and to prevent malaria. But when you introduced modified species into a local population then you are introducing invasive species. When you try to limit population numbers you could end up killing all the local population. These experiments have all but failed completely. Besides, Malaria has a standard set of symptoms and most cases in the US and even Japan are from Africa, Southern Asia, and South America. There are virtually no domestic cases and so we know that mosquitos and bacteria do not cause malaria. So what's the point in releasing engineered insects? Perhaps it has something to do with black magic. The Japanese KODOKU and Chinese GU systems of magic involve the use of insects to inflict harm or obtain protection. Poisonous and venomous insects are placed in a container where they fight and die. The last surviving insect is then used to create poisons or protective charms. Consider this: genetically modified insects are released in large contained areas to fight insects carrying serious diseases. They are intended to kill off the local insect populations, at which point the invasive modified insect can be used to inject proteins into the local human population. In other words, this isn't just mad science, it's KODOKU.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Warm summer nights often bring unwelcome guests into our homes in the form of mosquitoes. For now we fortunately don't have any mosquito-borne diseases being transmitted to humans in the UK, but with the warmer temperatures brought on by climate change, it may only be a matter of time until that changes. You may have noticed that some of us seem to attract more mosquito bites than others, even within the same household or having been at the same gathering. A popular belief is that mosquitoes have a preference for certain types of skin, because they find them sweeter. Is skin ‘sweetness' really the most important factor?

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on earth. They carry diseases, including malaria, which killed more than half a million people in 2023, according to the World Health Organization. Now, we may have a way to fight back. Scientists have developed gene editing technology that renders female mosquitoes infertile, which could lead to a total collapse of certain malaria-carrying mosquito species. Would a world without these mosquitoes have unintended side effects? And should humans be allowed to kill off an entire species?Climate and wildlife reporter Dino Grandoni explains the exciting science and fraught ethics of being able to eliminate mosquitoes.

Send us a textVeteran journalist Pam LeBlanc takes us behind the scenes of her remarkable journey from newspaper columnist to freelance adventure writer in this captivating conversation about authentic outdoor storytelling and responsible tourism. After 32 years in newspapers, Pam made the leap to freelance writing in 2018, focusing exclusively on the muddy, mosquito-bitten adventures that fuel her passion for nature."I only want to write about stuff that I have personally experienced myself and I can write about with authority," Pam explains, setting herself apart from writers who compile stories from behind desks. This philosophy has taken her scuba diving with 200 hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos, rappelling down 38-story buildings, dog sledding above the Arctic Circle in Sweden and hiking through the normally inaccessible Santa Elena Canyon during drought conditions.While Pam's byline appears in prestigious publications like Condé Nast Traveler and Texas Monthly, she remains particularly proud of her work highlighting the natural wonders of Texas. She shares thoughtful perspectives on responsible tourism, encouraging travelers to respect local cultures, seek out less-crowded alternatives to Instagram-famous destinations, use public transportation when possible and always be mindful of environmental impact.Perhaps most inspirational is Pam's advice for "injecting adventure into everyday life." Her number one tip? "Get your hair wet." This simple phrase encapsulates her philosophy that too many people, especially women, watch adventures from the sidelines rather than fully participating. At 61, she leads by example through her active lifestyle and upcoming trips to France, Colorado and Antarctica, proving age is no barrier to adventure.Discover more about Pam's adventures and follow her journey at PamLeBlancAdventures.com or AustinTravels.com.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on the planet, and some of them may be on the rise. At least in listener Abigail Krich-Starr's area, that's due to warmer, wetter weather — which, yes, is linked to climate change. But it doesn't stop there: Ecologists and entomologists say increased heat could also alter mosquito behavior, shift their natural habitat, and even change how pathogens incubate and spread inside their bodies.So how do you protect yourself against the (mosquito) masses? Our experts suggested several things:- Assess your risk by checking local mosquito surveillance efforts, like this one for the state of Massachusetts- Consider rescheduling outdoor events happening between dusk and dawn, which is peak biting time for multiple mosquito species- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, weather-permitting, to limit exposed skin- Use an EPA-approved DEET repellent, and/or a permethrin spray for clothing and outdoor gearThis episode is part of Nature Quest, a monthly Short Wave segment that answers listener questions about the local environment.Got a question about changes in your local environment?
