EP | 736 MIDTERM ELECTION VIRUS

Diamond and Silk host a fiery, conspiratorial deep dive into what they call the 'midterm election virus'—a fabricated pandemic narrative they claim is weaponized during election cycles to manipulate public fear. The guest, Dr. Artis, asserts that the Hantavirus, which he jokingly dubs 'Fanta' or 'Haunta,' is not a real threat but a manufactured scare tactic. He claims the virus is exclusively researched at Fort Detrick, Maryland, by the U.S. military, and that only one of 25 strains can spread between humans—via rat urine, not person-to-person transmission. Dr. Artis argues that the real danger lies in suppressing natural immune responses with drugs like Tylenol and Ibuprofen, which he says prolong illness by shutting down the body’s fever mechanism. He promotes a suite of natural antidotes—nicotine patches, black cumin seed oil, red marine algae, guava fruit, resveratrol, green tea extract, and curcumin—all of which he claims downregulate B3 integrins, the cellular receptors viruses use to invade the body. The episode frames the entire narrative as a psychological primer for future hemorrhagic virus pandemics like Ebola and Marburg, suggesting that public fear of bleeding symptoms was seeded during the COVID era. The show ends with a dramatic pitch for Dr. Artis’s 'Bio Defense' supplement and a story about saving a man’s life on a flight using 'Hydrate Complete,' all wrapped in a call to prayer and political loyalty to Donald Trump.
