In this episode of Medical Ethics Unpacked, hosts Dominic Sisti and Steve Levine welcome Jason Schwartz, PhD, associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health, for a discussion on vaccine ethics, public health infrastructure, and the challenges of maintaining trust in immunization programs. Together, they explore how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped public attitudes toward vaccines, while also underscoring long-standing tensions between individual autonomy and collective responsibility. Schwartz, whose work focuses on vaccine policy and history, offers perspective on the systems and institutions, such as the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), helping to translate scientific evidence into public health recommendations. This episode comes at a time when ACIP is once again in the headlines as HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently replaced all 17 members with a new slate of individuals, citing concerns about groupthink and conflicts of interest. The move has generated widespread commentary about the role and value of such expert advisory bodies in shaping public health decisions, especially in the face of growing skepticism and political scrutiny. Ethical questions about equity, communication, and responsibility are threaded throughout the discussion. The hosts and Schwartz reflect on what it means to make fair vaccine recommendations in the context of incomplete data, and how institutions can maintain public trust amid scientific uncertainty. They also discuss how the infrastructure behind public health decisions—committees, advisory boards, and interagency coordination—can either strengthen or undermine confidence depending on how they function and how well they are understood.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHeadlines can tell us a lot about our society's values, and today's news stories paint a disturbing picture. From a shocking criminal case that challenges our sense of humanity to questions about how we honor military history, this episode explores the stories making waves this week.Our lead story covers a truly disturbing crime – a Department of Justice employee now facing capital murder charges in Texas after allegedly spiking his pregnant girlfriend's coffee with abortion-inducing medication against her will. The horrifying details reveal how the woman, who had just seen her baby's strong heartbeat on a sonogram earlier that day, lost her pregnancy after meeting the suspect at a coffee shop. This case not only highlights issues of reproductive rights but also raises profound questions about bodily autonomy and the extreme measures some will take to control others.We also dive into President Trump's decision to restore Confederate-linked names to seven Army installations with a significant twist – while the original base names are returning, they'll now honor different military heroes with similar surnames who served America honorably. For instance, Fort Hood will commemorate a WWI Distinguished Service Cross recipient rather than its Confederate namesake. This nuanced approach attempts to balance military tradition with acknowledgment of our complex national history.The episode concludes with a candid discussion about aging celebrities and their puzzling choices to post revealing photos well into their sixties. When Elizabeth Hurley celebrates turning 60 with nearly-naked Instagram posts while announcing her relationship with Billy Ray Cyrus, we have to ask: what drives this behavior? Is there a way to age with grace and wisdom rather than desperately clinging to youth culture standards?

BT dives deep into the swirling Knicks drama, kicking things off with the surprising news of their aggressive pursuit of Kevin Durant and BT's own "petty" feelings about Durant's past disinterest in the team. He then tackles the firing of Tom Thibodeau, agreeing with the decision while acknowledging Thibodeau's strengths, arguing that defensive liabilities like Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson made winning untenable. Callers weigh in on the controversial move, the influence of Rick Brunson, and potential coaching candidates, with BT expressing concern about the Knicks' apparent lack of a clear plan. The show also touches on other sports topics, including baseball and the Giants, and features a humorous anecdote about a mispronunciation of "Jazz" Chisholm leading to an unexpected discussion on Star Trek.

NPR Lawsuit Against the Trump Administration: NPR and Colorado public radio stations filed a lawsuit challenging an executive order by President Trump that defunds NPR and PBS. The hosts criticize the lawsuit, arguing it misuses the First Amendment to justify taxpayer funding for what they describe as biased media. Debate Over Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports: The episode discusses California's policy shift in response to federal pressure, allowing biological girls to retain championship slots even if outperformed by transgender athletes. The hosts frame this as a political victory and a sign of retreat by progressive leadership. James Comey Controversy: Former FBI Director James Comey is accused of posting a cryptic image interpreted as a veiled threat against Donald Trump. The hosts allege Comey’s actions are politically motivated and potentially criminal, referencing federal statutes on threats against the president. Media Bias and Political Polarization: The episode critiques mainstream media outlets, particularly NPR and PBS, for alleged liberal bias. It includes audio clips and commentary on statements made by NPR’s CEO, Catherine Maher, during congressional hearings. Electoral Strategy and Public Opinion: The hosts discuss how issues like transgender participation in sports are resonating with moderate voters, especially women, and influencing campaign strategies.

Bryan Kohberger's Mind Unpacked: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Behavior What's going on inside the mind of Bryan Kohberger—and what should we really be looking at beyond the headlines? In this exclusive premiere episode, Robin Dreeke—former head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program—returns to Hidden Killers to unpack the internal workings of Kohberger's alleged psychological profile. With a capital trial looming and a Motion to Continue filed, Kohberger's defense is arguing they need more time to investigate his life history and mental state. But what would a profiler look for in that timeline? We dive deep into possible red flags, behavioral escalation, post-crime behavior, and how Kohberger's public persona could differ wildly from his internal drives. Dreeke helps separate pop culture profiling from the real science used in criminal justice and explains why understanding a suspect's behavioral footprint is critical—not just to guilt or innocence, but to understanding risk, future behavior, and sentencing. This is the interview that goes beyond the headlines and into the evidence-based behavioral framework that law enforcement uses every day.

What do you do with a gift you never really learned how to use? We often treat sex like the expensive china we registered for but never use—beautiful in theory, awkward in practice. But sex isn't just skin-deep. In this episode, Heather and Jamie talked about how our minds—and marriages—need renewing. Jamie shares the invisible legacy of trauma passed down through her family, while Heather opens up about the pressure to “perform” intimacy without ever being taught what godly sexual intimacy actually looks like.
