COVID All Over Again? Dr. Quay on Nipah Virus, Airport Screening, and Biosecurity Failures

Steve welcomes physician-scientist Dr. Steven Quay to discuss the emerging Nipah virus outbreak overseas and why airports are reverting to COVID-era screening measures. Drawing on his Senate testimony and decades of experience, Quay explains why reactive policies offer false reassurance while real biosecurity risks remain unresolved. The conversation also expands into the dangers of the big food industry, what Americans are really being fed, and praise for RFK Jr. for flipping the public health pyramid on its head.
