Earlier in June, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 members of a key vaccine advisory panel and handpicked eight new members, including several who have expressed skepticism about some vaccines. The move prompted the resignation of Dr. Fiona Havers, one of the CDC’s leading vaccine experts. Ali Rogin speaks with Havers about her decision.

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent Racaniello are alarmed at how RFK is breaking his promise of not altering vaccine policies, and nonexistent data and studies are used by members of the ACIP to make changes to immunization practices in the absence of a CDC director, justification for not honoring the US commitment to GAVI and global public policies including support of routine childhood immunizations, placing millions of children at risk for the return of vaccine preventable diseases including polio outbreaks in Pappa New Guinea and increased circulation of wildtype type 1 poliovirus, before Dr. Griffin reviews recent statistics on RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, approval of Merck's anti-RSV mRNA monoclonal antibody, whether or not the NB.1.8.1 should be included in the fall 2025 vaccines, immunization recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, where to find PEMGARDA, changes in COVID mRNA vaccine labeling and reframing of the science around the vaccine, provides information for Columbia University Irving Medical Center's long COVID treatment center, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions, and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research Subscribe (free): Apple Podcasts, RSS, email Become a patron of TWiV!

The Supreme Court will issue a slew of major opinions today on what's expected to be the final day of its current term. Still outstanding are decisions in cases over President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order, a voting rights challenge in Louisiana, LGBTQ books in schools, and more. On Thursday, the court also paved the way for states to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds, even for services not at all related to abortion. Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Low School in Los Angeles, explains the justices' Planned Parenthood opinion and what they might have in store for us today.And in headlines: Republicans are racing to meet a July 4th deadline to pass President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill despite yet another major setback in the Senate, Congress is still at odds over whether the US strikes on Iran “obliterated” the country's nuclear program, and a CDC vaccine panel made recommendations that could make it harder to get the flu vaccine.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's revamped CDC vaccine advisory board stopped recommending certain flu vaccines this week. On this week's On the Media, a scientist debunks the claims that RFK, Jr.'s appointees are making. Plus, how the media covered the U.S. bombing of Iran.[00:00] Host Micah Loewinger unspools the Trump administration's attempts to control the narrative around the war in Iran, including the president's insistence on the “total obliteration” of Iran's nuclear sites, conflicting reports over whether or not Iran had a nuclear weapons program in the works, and how the media is missing the mark.[00:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center and a physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, about how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., purged the CDC's vaccine advisory committee members, the controversial figures Kennedy replaced them with, and what impact this will have on the future of vaccines and immunology in the US. [00:00] Brooke continues her conversation with Paul Offit about the new controversial figures appointed to the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, and how science communication could improve in the next public health crisis.

We begin with a free-for-all Friday rundown of the latest news stories about the terrible reconciliation bill, bad endorsements from Trump, and more signs of stagflation. The court decision against universal injunctions is one positive story, but there is a huge catch. Also, why is the new CDC director unquestionably defending mRNA shots? Why is this administration continuing the biomedical security state under the mantle of MAHA? Indeed, there is a difference between MAHA and the “medical freedom movement," like the difference between a sword and a shield. We're joined by Hebrew University professor Josh Guetzkow, who just published a pre-print study of a massive population of pregnant women in Israel showing a shocking safety signal from the COVID shots. The COVID shots were associated with a significant increase in fetal deaths among pregnant women who received the shot during the first trimester. Josh discusses how his study is the most airtight to date and how this signal has been ignored until now. He also reviews his findings from two years ago on how the shots given to the public by Pfizer are not the ones studied in clinical trials, yet even the Trump administration continues to assert that they have been studied and properly approved.

David Zweig, author of An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions, discusses public health's blind spots—and when caution became the risk. Plus, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reshapes the CDC's vaccine advisory panel, swapping experts for skeptics and dredging up the long-debunked thimerosal panic on his way to declaring war on mayonnaise. And in the Spiel: a U.S. strike on Iran's Fordow facility may have been less obliteration than “oblit-ish-ation,” though both the administration and its critics are spinning narratives faster than centrifuges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is claiming she's never heard reports of ICE agents covering their faces with masks during the round ups and arrests of undocumented people. At a hearing yesterday, the issue was raised by Michigan Senator Gary Peters and Bondi denied knowing about the masks but said of the agents: “I do know they are being doxxed … they're being threatened,” and “Their families are being threatened.” We welcome former federal prosecutor David Katz to the show to discuss this and more.

"Older adults have this special clarity about who they are and what they want, which is incredibly inspiring," says Dr. Julia Hiner, explaining, in part, why she loves her work as a geriatrician in Houston, Texas. She also enjoys the challenge of the medical complexity these patients present and the opportunity it creates to see the patient as a whole person. In fact, as you'll hear in this upbeat conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, there's almost nothing about geriatrics that Dr. Hiner does not enjoy, which explains her passion for teaching the subject at McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and trying to convince more students to pursue it as their specialty. The need is great, given that there are only 8,000 geriatricians in the US despite a rapidly growing senior population. Tune in to learn why Dr. Hiner thinks clinicians avoid the field and the steps that can be taken to improve the situation, including requiring courses in geriatrics. You'll also learn about the importance of capacity assessments, the troubling, and under-reported, problem of elder mistreatment, ageism among health professionals and much more in this super informative episode.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world.The CDC's new vaccine advisors are meeting with an unexpected agenda today, including discussions on topics such as Sanofi and Gilead's protein degrader deals, the FDA's review of Sarepta's gene therapy, and a contentious hearing with RFK Jr. over vaccines. The meeting marks the beginning of a new era for the influential vaccine committee. The FDA has named a psychedelic proponent as CDER deputy director, while Nektar has declared a Phase IIb win for eczema treatment. Experts say conflicts of interest among axed ACIP members are a "red herring," and the pharma industry is facing turmoil in failed immuno-oncology projects. Prescription drug sales are projected to hit $1.75 trillion by 2030, thanks to GLP-1s. Transitioning to the next news, a major pharmaceutical company has announced a breakthrough in cancer research, potentially changing the landscape of treatment options for patients worldwide. This development comes at a time when the industry is seeing significant advancements in personalized medicine and targeted therapies. Moving on to regulatory updates, the FDA has recently approved a new drug for a rare disease, providing hope for patients who previously had limited treatment options. This decision showcases the agency's commitment to expediting the approval process for innovative therapies that address unmet medical needs. In other news, a biotech startup has secured funding for its groundbreaking technology that aims to revolutionize drug delivery methods. This investment highlights the growing interest in novel approaches to drug development and underscores the importance of innovation in the industry.Wrapping up today's episode, we take a look at the latest trends in digital health, with companies leveraging artificial intelligence and big data analytics to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery. These technological advancements have the potential to transform the way healthcare is delivered and pave the way for a more efficient and patient-centric system. That's all for today's episode of Pharma and Biotech daily. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest developments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach.He starts today's episode with how chiropractors with a focus on upper cervical care can help with neurodegenerative health issues, how MRIs can assist in preventative care to avoid the need for certain surgeries, and the health of the brainstem and how it is imperative to pay attention to neck health. Dr. Jack shares that, when he gets to a Parkinsons patient early enough, he can help prolong progression of the disease, how he's helped epileptic patients minimize their seizures, and how much better the brain works on a KETO diet.Moving on, Dr. Jack dives into RFK Jr.'s removal of every member of a scientific committee that advises the CDC and pledged to replace them with his own picks, foods banned in Europe but not the US, why more than half of the American population are overweight, and the importance of safe vaccines.Last, and certainly not least, Doug and Dr. Jack cover supplements linked to liver damage, but often times it falls down to how it's processed. Many of these supplements — like ashwagandha, turmeric, green tea, garcinia cambogia, and red yeast rice — have been known for hundreds-thousands of years to be very restorative to the human body and part of the backbone of Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine. Dr. Jack explains why it's important these supplements are food-based products and not food-like products. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

At today's NATO summit, President Trump devoted a great deal of his press conference to the US's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. After a back and forth over a leaked Pentagon report suggesting the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months, Trump said it was preliminary and "inconclusive." Then he got another report by Israel's Atomic Energy Commission, saying the US attack on Fordow "destroyed the site's critical infrastructure." Iran itself also said the facilities were badly damaged. David Petraeus served as the Commander of Centcom and Director of the CIA and joins Christiane to discuss this all.

Police in Virginia, the murder of a Baby. Special Episode. Carrie Wooten doesn't just tell stories, she lived them. The former Virginia Beach Police Officer opens up about the hidden weight of a career in law enforcement, where behind every badge is not just duty, but deep, often silent trauma. This episode of The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast now streaming on for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major social podcast platforms. In this free episode of the Law Enforcement Talk episode, available now on their website, plus Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms, Carrie recounts two of the most harrowing calls she ever faced. One involved the murder of a 14-month-old baby by the child's own mother. The other, an encounter with a domestic terrorist that ended with her disarming and talking down the killer. “You train for scenarios like that,” she says. “But nothing prepares you for looking into the eyes of someone who's just taken a life, or about to.” The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. Carrie served as a Police Officer in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a city many assume is a sleepy tourist town. It's anything but. As the largest city in the state, with over 450,000 residents, military bases, and proximity to Norfolk, home of the world's largest Navy base, Virginia Beach often sees the kind of crime and violence typical of major metropolitan areas. “We weren't just writing tickets,” Carrie explains. “We were responding to shootings, domestic assaults, and yes, even terrorism.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Violence Against the Most Vulnerable. Police in Virginia, the murder of a Baby. Special Episode. The case involving the murdered toddler wasn't just tragic, it left an enduring scar. “You don't ever forget something like that,” Carrie says quietly. “I still see that child's face sometimes.” According to the CDC, homicide is a leading cause of death for children in the United States. In 2020 alone, youth under 18 represented about 8% of all murder victims. Of those, nearly half were killed by someone they knew, often a parent. “These aren't rare cases,” Carrie adds. “We just don't talk about them enough. People need to understand what police walk into on any given day.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. A Call with a Terrorist In another chilling call, Carrie encountered a man who had all the tools to kill. Armed and dangerous, the man was identified as having ties to extremist groups. “He had the training, the weapons, and the intent,” she recalls. “But I talked him down. I didn't have to shoot him. That moment changed me forever.” While most Americans think of terrorism as something that happens overseas, Carrie warns it's often closer than we think, especially in cities with military infrastructure. “We dealt with these threats more than people realize. And the trauma doesn't wait until you clock out. It follows you home.” Police in Virginia, the murder of a Baby. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Behind the Badge: A Life Changed The trauma Carrie experienced didn't disappear when the calls ended. Like many officers, the cumulative effect of violence, loss, and high-stress decision-making began to erode her mental health. “You don't realize the damage until your life starts falling apart,” she admits. “Your relationships, your sleep, your identity, it all suffers.” Her journey toward healing led her to entrepreneurship and public speaking. Today, Carrie works to help others in law enforcement and the military recognize and confront the hidden wounds of service. “If I can use my story to prevent just one suicide, one broken marriage, it's worth it.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. The Hidden Crisis in Law Enforcement Carrie's experience isn't unique. Data from the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) program shows that domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous for police. Between 2011 and 2020, 43 officers were killed while responding to domestic disturbance incidents. In large departments like Virginia Beach, nearly one in three calls involved domestic disturbances, often repetitive, emotionally charged, and unpredictable. "They don't sound glamorous, but they're deadly," Carrie says. "And they wear you down, emotionally and physically." Police in Virginia, the murder of a Baby. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Turning Pain Into Purpose Now retired from active duty, Carrie has become a social media voice and advocate for mental health in policing. Her posts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn reach thousands who need to hear that they're not alone. “We need to normalize the conversation around PTSD and trauma,” she says. “Not just in the military, but in policing, too.” Carrie's story is a stark reminder of what police officers truly face, in Virginia, and across the nation. It's not just about arrests and traffic stops. It's about walking into rooms where the worst has already happened. It's about making split-second decisions that follow you for years.

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meets Wednesday and Thursday. A once-obscure board, its work was thrust into the spotlight after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 of its members earlier this month. He named eight replacements, some of whom have been outspoken about their mistrust of COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns. The board wields enormous influence, deciding on who gets vaccines in the U.S. and when. Michael Osterholm, the Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and the leader of the Vaccine Integrity Project at the University of Minnesota, joined Minnesota Now to talk about the impact the committee's decision could have on vaccine access.

On this explosive episode of Stinchfield, we shine a light on one of the most alarming moves yet by the CDC—the quiet dismantling of the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD). This once-powerful tool was critical for monitoring vaccine side effects and investigating potential links to conditions like autism, neurological damage, and more. So why would the CDC now move to shut it down? Dr. Peter McCullough joins us to break it all down. He says what many are thinking: this isn’t transparency—it’s a cover-up. By removing access to real-time safety data, the CDC is making it nearly impossible for independent researchers to track the long-term effects of vaccines, especially in children. What are they afraid of us finding? If the science is settled, why hide the numbers? This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in medical freedom, informed consent, and holding public health officials accountable. The truth is being buried—and we’re here to dig it up.
