Cheap Drug Has 97 Percent Plague Survival Rate, So Why Are Militaries Developing 21 Plague Vaccines? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 675
10/14/2026 | 1h 3 mins.A researcher at an anti-plague institute in Russia died after breaking a test tube containing live bacteria. As headlines stoke alarm over a possible aerosolized pneumonic plague outbreak, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher reveals that governments and military biodefense programs – including the USA’s Department of Defense – have been quietly funding more than 21 experimental plague vaccines spanning mRNA, self-amplifying RNA, and viral-vector platforms.
“Why were governments and military biodefense programs already investing so heavily in plague vaccines before the current plague hysteria erupted?” asks Hulscher.
The U.S. DOD alone has committed over $44 million into clinical trials for an aerosolized plague candidate, alongside programs in the UK, Israel, Russia, and China. But as Hulscher points out, pneumonic plague is a bacterial infection, not a respiratory virus like COVID-19.
“I would not take an experimental plague vaccine. I’d rather take my chances with doxycycline and its documented 97% survival rate. We are not living in the Middle Ages,” says Hulscher.

10/07/2026 | 1h 5 mins.In the Cornell 7 lawsuit, a female student has accused seven Chi Phi fraternity brothers of drugging and sexually assaulting her in October 2024. The men have denied wrongdoing, saying the encounter was consensual. One of the men now alleges that because he was intoxicated on ketamine at the time, he was unable to give consent – and thus legally, Jane Doe may have assaulted him.
The NY Post reports that Matthew Ingalls “told Cornell University police that he was the one too intoxicated from booze and ketamine to consent” and Jane Doe “was the one who therefore assaulted him during the debauched and drunken night and not the other way around…”
Attorney Viva Frei joins Dr. Drew to separate what is illegal and prosecutable from what is immoral, and to explain why the district attorney first declined to bring charges.
Rob Rosen, producer of “Reasonable Doubt” and author of “Crimes of Omission,” discusses how the media is covering the case.
Dr. Drew, an addiction specialist, explains what ketamine is, what happens when it is mixed with alcohol, and why it’s been linked to multiple celebrity deaths.
Tom Welch, founder of Beacon Treatment Navigators, also speaks about his push for an FDA fast track designation for a naltrexone implant.

10/06/2026 | 1h 5 mins.A 28-year-old researcher died from a “pneumonia of undetermined origin” after breaking a test tube in a Russian anti-plague lab. Nearly 200 people are now in quarantine over fears of a pneumonic plague outbreak in the Siberia region. Untreated pneumonic plague has nearly 100% fatality.
The White House is monitoring the situation. But even the World Health Organization says, based on the current information, “the public health risk to the general population appears to be low.” Is this simply another round of media pandemic panic – and will they vanish from the headlines as quickly as cyclospora, measles, bird flu, and monkeypox?

10/02/2026 | 1h 25 mins.Newly released diary entries and internal emails obtained by Sen. Rand Paul reveal that Dr. Anthony Fauci privately sounded the alarm in 2016 after learning the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) had aerosolized Ebola in a study funded by his own institute.
“What idiots,” Dr. Fauci wrote in March 2016. “This should have been a classified experiment, that never should have been done in the first place.”
The documents reveal that vaccinated primates exposed to the airborne pathogen suffered severe lung inflammation – with worse outcomes than the unvaccinated.
“During the course of those experiments, the DOD noticed that the animals that were vaccinated had more inflammation [in the lungs than] those who were unvaccinated,” Fauci wrote in his diary at the time. “Nonetheless, the idea that the vaccine can do harm is now causing people a great deal of concern.”
“Records show NIAID was funding risky research with the Defense Department. And when the results turned problematic, Dr. Fauci argued they should have been classified,” says Sen. Rand Paul. “It is clear additional oversight is needed into what Dr. Fauci’s institute was paying for long before COVID.”
Peter Navarro Ph.D., the former Senior Counselor to President Trump and author of Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, joins Dr. Drew to break down the unsealed diary, disease weaponization, and federal gain-of-function accountability. National security expert Dr. Bradley Thayer examines Chinese Communist Party leverage and geopolitical conflict. Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring returns to discuss the latest findings in the Presley Gerber investigation and new studies debunking “addictive personalities.”
Peter Navarro Ph.D. served as Senior Counselor to President Trump for Trade and Manufacturing.

09/30/2026 | 1h 17 mins.Two Ole Miss students, Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20, were found dead on the same day. New police documents link both to “Smax” Pseudo-DHM, a “high-potency MGM-15 product” chewable sold as kratom by a smoke shop. Before being raided, the shop’s staff reportedly told undercover cops not to take the pills because “people were dying.”
The American Kratom Association, a kratom advocacy group, says the product’s compounds “do not occur naturally in the kratom plant. They are synthetic derivatives or chemically manipulated forms of 7-OH.”
When the news first broke of the college student deaths, Dr. Drew suspected the investigation would find multiple drugs were involved. This was later confirmed by reports revealing that Stang “took a Xanax bar the afternoon before he was found dead…. Investigators found 20 to 30 nitrous oxide cans and his roommates said Strang “would use whippets daily”.”
World-renowned brain health expert and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen joins Dr. Drew to break down what synthetic opioids do to the brain, the alarming availability of Smax-like products in gas stations, and the fatal “Celebrity Killer Cocktail” of mixing benzodiazepines (like Xanax) with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs.
High-stakes poker champion Garrett Adelstein discusses his memoir “Beneath the Cards” detailing his personal battle with gambling addiction, clinical depression, and his side of the “Jack-Four” cheating controversy.
