Podcasts about vaccines

What if our approach to vaccines—one of the greatest medical achievements in history—has lost sight of its most important principle: trust?In this week's Let People Prosper Show, I talk with Dr. Monique Yohanan, a physician, policy leader, and innovator who's spent more than 20 years at the crossroads of medicine, technology, and public policy. She's the Chief Medical Officer at Adia Health, where she leads work on AI-powered diagnostic tools, and a Senior Fellow at Independent Women's Forum, where she's shaking up the national conversation with her new paper, Rethinking Vaccine Policy: A Case for Humility, Precision, and Parental Partnership.Dr. Yohanan trained at Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard, and Stanford, and has taught at UCSF and Stanford. She's a nationally recognized voice on evidence-based medicine, having worked on issues from pain management and mental health parity to the opioid crisis and healthcare technology reform.In this conversation, we delve into how public health can rebuild trust by respecting parents, embracing precision, and utilizing technology wisely.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and visit VanceGinn.com and my handle on X for more pro-growth policy content that doesn't pull punches.

“We don't view a person with chronic pain as someone who has a chronic illness and the effect of that is we can't follow patients continuously over prolonged periods of time,” says Dr. Jacob Hascalovici, a neurologist and pain specialist based in New York City.  In co-founding Bliss Health, Dr. Jacob, as he is known, has set out to create a continuous care model for chronic pain treatment that matches the approach taken for patients with diabetes or high blood pressure. The Bliss Health formula includes an initial meeting with a physician that produces a care plan; remote therapeutic monitoring on an ongoing basis; and a monthly meeting with a nurse to review data and determine next steps, including additional appointments with physicians as needed.  All of this occurs via a digital platform which provides a welcome option for patients with mobility issues and can fill gaps in access to specialists, especially in rural areas. Dr. Jacob is also hoping to make chronic pain patents feel respected, which is not always the case in their encounters with the healthcare system. “Because pain is not something that can be seen or measured, oftentimes patients feel marginalized, dismissed and disempowered by providers.” Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for a valuable conversation that also touches on policy changes that could strengthen telemedicine, and has details on the first non-opioid based pain medication to receive FDA approval in over 20 years.Mentioned in this episode:Bliss Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Big Pharma is freaking out about the recent information RFK Jr. has released to the public. Is there a Tylenol and vaccine link to autism? Is this another instance of medical corruption for Big Pharma profits? Find out now!RFK Jr. is being called everything from irresponsible to anti-science for trying to revive “debunked vaccine myths”. Autism rates have skyrocketed from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 31, so we need to look at everything!Vaccine safety studies do not compare vaccines to placebos, they compare vaccines to other vaccines!RFK Jr. did not say that Tylenol causes autism, but that it could be a contributing factor that can influence susceptible people to develop autism. He has raised awareness of this link and has called for further research.Tylenol is used for fevers, headaches, pain, menstrual cramps, and more. Most people think it doesn't have many side effects, but it's the leading cause of acute liver failure. Over 80,000 people each year end up in the ER because of too much acetaminophen. Tylenol's active ingredient depletes glutathione and is found in over 600 medications.A fever is a natural immune reaction to an infection, and suppressing this can increase the infection's duration.There are multiple causes of autism. One involves a genetic component with the MTHFR gene, which weakens your ability to detoxify and increases your risk of a folate deficiency.Leucovorin is a synthetic folate derivative recommended for some instances of autism. This medication could be beneficial and may provide optimal results if taken with B12, B2, B6, magnesium, and zinc. One study found that between 56% and 75% of those with autism had a folate deficiency! In another trial, synthetic folate boosted IQs by 25% to 50% compared to the placebo. Independent research is needed to explore the vaccine link to autism. We can't simply squash vaccine controversy by claiming the “science is settled.”Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In the Trump-era, and within the public health narrative shaped by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a debunked but persistent myth has taken hold: that infant vaccinations cause autism. Despite overwhelming scientific evidence disproving this claim, the narrative remains central to anti-vaccine rhetoric. Professor Richard Rinker, a cultural anthropologist and director of The George Washington University Institute for Ethnographic Research, joins Chris Hayes to examine how autism has become a political obsession, recent inflection points, what the research says about autism being underdiagnosed or overdiagnosed and more.

In recent months, public health advocates in the United States have raised concerns about proposed changes to vaccine policy, cuts to food assistance programs, rollbacks of environmental protections and reductions in public health staffing. Chief among them has been Dr. Georges Benjamin who, as executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA) since 2002, has led national efforts to create a healthier America. Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin to understand more about the current state of public health and explore the path forward, and learned that a top priority for APHA is battling the misinformation that Dr. Benjamin believes is fueling support for many of these changes. “The challenge we have right now is that as a society, we've gone into our little corners and live in our own ecosystems. More people are getting their information from a single source and they're not validating that information to make sure that it's true.” Tune into this thoughtful and timely conversation to hear Dr. Benjamin's advice for curbing the spread of misinformation, how APHA is trying to help people understand the value of public health initiatives, and what the U.S. can learn from other countries about improving public health. Mentioned in this episode:American Public Health Association If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

With vaccinations increasingly a point of political tension, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program – a “no fault” vaccine court that balances the public health benefits of widespread vaccination with rare cases of harm to individuals. Founded in the 1980s, the program has paid out billions of dollars to thousands of Americans. International crime groups are finding new, sophisticated ways to infiltrate the global supply chain online, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of goods per year. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the growing threat of cargo theft and how 24 thousand bottles of Guy Fieri's tequila vanished on their way to the warehouse. Correspondent Lesley Stahl visits Rob Reiner on the New Orleans set of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, the long-awaited sequel to his 1984 cult classic, This Is Spinal Tap. Four decades after launching the now-beloved mockumentary genre with a fully improvised classic, the director of When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, and The Princess Bride reunites the band for an encore.

What the heck is going on with health and science in Washington DC these days?  Nothing good, bioethicist Art Caplan assures you.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. released a new video challenging the standard “vaccines saved millions” narrative, offering data that paints a starkly different picture of the decline of disease in the US. Del also spotlights the appointment of longtime HighWire ally Mark Blaxill as senior advisor to the CDC's autism program.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

In early September, during a joint press conference with Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida's Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo publicly announced the decision to eliminate all state vaccine mandates—including those required for schools.In this episode, Dr. Ladapo explains the decision, how it will take shape, and his response to critics of the announcement who say there will be increased outbreaks of infectious disease.“It's just not appropriate for someone else to be able to dictate or force you to put something into your body.… If you own anything, you do own your body, just as you own your free will,” he says.Florida's Department of Health is removing all its current mandates, but a complete removal of all vaccine requirements from state law will require legislative action. Dr. Ladapo says he's confident it will be passed.We also dive into his concern that many pediatricians can refuse to treat children on the basis of the child's vaccination status: “To be kicked out of pediatrician practices for that reason, it's just wrong,” he says.He's working with Governor DeSantis on what he calls a “patient's bill of rights.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

RFK Jr posted a seven-minute video earlier this week that assures us that vaccines aren't all that great, actually. Derek reads the studies Kennedy references as proof. You might be surprised to learn the HHS Secretary has very selective reading.

For over a century, vaccination has been repeatedly linked to severe neurological injuries including brain damage — with many modern studies showing a 3 to 7 fold increase in common chronic illnesses To dodge this massive liability, all research into vaccine injuries (and many other catastrophes like Agent Orange) was suppressed so that health authorities could claim there was “no evidence” of vaccine harm Another scheme was to redefine the brain injury as “autism” rather than encephalitis (which the U.S. government was legally required to provide injury compensation for) Previously, children with significant vaccine brain damage were referred to as “mentally retarded.” However, after a multi-decade campaign cancelled “retarded” they were instead diagnosed as autistic — a vague term which blurs severe and minor disability together, thereby effectively concealing the severe cases from the public's awareness This article will reveal the manipulative techniques and wordplay that have been used to conceal vaccine injuries from the public's awareness, as now is the time when we can at last end this atrocity

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is expanding on his promise to preserve vaccine access across the commonwealth… after a reversal on recommendations from the federal government. Pennsylvania researchers are pushing back against the recent announcement from the White House of a direct link between autism and the use of the painkiller acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are exploring a treatment that uses a patient’s own body in a surprising way to fight cancer. CAR T-Cell Therapy: A Breakthrough in Cancer Treatment and the Path Ahead | The Spark House lawmakers approved background checks to purchase any type of firearm in Pennsylvania. The proposal faces long odds of passing the state Senate. Property owners in Pennsylvania who are worried about landslides and sinkholes may soon be able to breathe easier, after the state House voted to create a state-backed insurance program to cover them. As the federal government shutdown enters its third day, access to 400 National Park Service sites is varying on a park-by-park basis. Here in Central Pennsylvania, the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center is remaining open and maintaining its regular hours for visitors. It's a different scene in Philadelphia.

Episode 4823: Where To Turn Following ACIP's Vaccine Recommendations; War With The Cartel

In "Fevers, Furloughs, and Falsehoods," Dr. Osterholm and Chris Dall break down the CDC's recent ACIP meeting and the ongoing uncertainty around updated vaccine recommendations. Dr. Osterhom discusses state-level differences in vaccine access, possible changes to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and reviews the latest data on COVID-19, Ebola, and STIs. Dr. Osterholm also answers an ID Query on the studies associating acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism, and share the latest installment of This Week in Public Health History on the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Does Tylenol, or acetaminophen, cause autism? Those who disagree are taking pills for fun and those who agree are defending the link as absolute proof. What happened to vaccines caused autism? Furthermore, even on the issue of vaccines, most serious arguments never said they caused autism, but instead were a large contributor to autism. The same is true for the federal link of acetaminophen to autism. It is a link to a potential risk. That's different than a direct agent of cause, and certainly the only cause. Acetaminophen was introduced in the 1890s, and autism was first coined in 1911, not being fully diagnosed until the 1940s. However, upon its introduction, it was never widely available to the public, something that only became true in the 1950s. For context, we need to address what autism actually is: some key characteristics are a struggle to maintain eye contact, scripted speech, issues with nonverbal gestures, having very focused interest in specific subject, arranging things obsessively, a dislike for a loud noises. These are fascinating symptoms, considering that they are the definition of a cultural behavior found famously in the Japanese. In other words, these behaviors in the United States would be classified as autism, but in Japan, normal functional and civil behaviors. As with ADD, which disappeared and was changed to ADHD, and as with polio, which was likely caused by DDT and other chemicals, autism itself might be a misclassified condition. As with the MAHA movement's focus on beef, dairy, and sugar, it appears the linkage of autism to Tylenol takes the responsibility off of more likely culprits that contribute, not directly cause, a complex neurological condition. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

“Probably the most exciting thing I've seen in gene therapy over the last ten years is we now have a lot of tools for selective delivery, which will hopefully make treatments more safe and a lot more successful,” says Dr. Jessica Duis, a geneticist and pediatrician focused on the management of individuals with complex, rare disorders. Dr. Duis, who has worked on several gene therapies that are now approved or progressing through the accelerated approval pathway, is currently VP of Clinical Development at GondolaBio, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics for genetic diseases. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra episode with host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Duis is encouraged by other recent advances in genetic technology as well, and thinks momentum will grow as breakthrough treatments emerge. “I think we're hopefully going to continue to see companies that are working in rare disease be more successful and really drive how regulators think about making decisions in terms of bringing treatments to patients. I think we're at the tip of the iceberg in terms of the future of truly transformational therapies.”  This wide ranging conversation also explores Dr. Duis' team approach to patient care, her work on clinical endpoints, the importance of patient communities, and her book series, Rare Siblings Stories.Mentioned in this episode:GondolaBioRareDiseaseDocElsevier Healthcare Hub on Rare DiseasesRare Sibling Stories If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Politics and public health haven't always been so divided, but in today's world, even science and vaccines have become political battlegrounds. That's why I sat down with Congressman Maxwell Frost, the youngest member of Congress and a voice for Gen Z leadership, to talk about where we go from here. We dig into what it means to lead in such a polarized time, the dangers of politicizing health, and how younger generations can push for change. Congressman Frost opens up about his perspective on the vaccine mandate debate in Florida, the role of misinformation, and why community and courage matter more than ever. We cover: How public health became politicized—and why that's so dangerous The impact of Covid-19 on trust in science and communication missteps we can learn from The real stakes of rolling back vaccine mandates in states like Florida Why Gen Z's voice and skepticism can be a strength in leadership How grassroots advocacy, calls, and community action can still influence policy Congressman Frost's perspective on staying hopeful and grounded in the fight for public health and democracy To connect with Congressman Maxwell Frost check out all his resources at https://frost.house.gov/.  Follow him on Instagram at @repmaxwellfrost   We'd like to know who is listening!

Psychologist and heart-transplant recipient Dr. Brittany Clayborne shares how her own medical journey prepared her to guide her son Micah through sudden heart failure, an LVAD, and a life-saving transplant. She unpacks the family's rare Danon's disease diagnosis, post-transplant cancer (PTLD), and the everyday realities after transplant—meds, setbacks, and hope. You'll learn Dr. Brittany's BRAVE framework for hard moments, how rituals sustain connection during long hospital stays, and how Micah turned his experience into action with Transplant Teens and My Brave Journal. This conversation is packed with concrete tools, compassion, and the reminder that “hope is a team sport.” You do not want to miss this week's episode. Featured moments: 00:00 — Why families need “somewhere to be brave.” 04:50 — Brittany's peripartum cardiomyopathy, ICU wait, and LVAD. 10:05 — PTLD diagnosis and becoming the psychologist she needed. 12:50 — Micah's chest pain → HCM crisis and transplant path. 24:00 — The BRAVE acronym families can use today. 44:00 — “Hope is a team sport.” Transplant Teens' vision. Key takeaways: Use BRAVE in tough conversations: Breathe • Realize feelings • Accept them • Vent/Vulnerable with a trusted person • Elevate above it. Build predictable touchpoints (calls/visits) to anchor kids during long hospitalizations. Teens heal better with peers; if the group doesn't exist yet, create it.

Andrew speaks with Dr. Michael Osterholm, founding director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Center at the University of Minnesota about his new book, "The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics", which is an urgent warning about the next global health crisis. Dr. Osterholm explains why the continued focus on COVID's origin is distracting from the critical lessons we need to learn. He also offers a frank critique of "meaningless" plexiglass shields and six-foot distancing, sharing what truly works in transmission prevention. And, he outlines why these biological threats are a core national security challenge for U.S. military forces that demands an increase in research and funding.

Last week, President Donald Trump warned that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, is a potential cause of autism. Many medical professionals say the relationship between acetaminophen and autism is inconclusive, and Trump's comments went beyond what his own administration officials recommend. Still, the press conference caused a crisis at the company that makes Tylenol, Kenvue.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, influencing policies that promote more medical interventions for children while reducing parental control The AAP's top priority is to eliminate parental authority over childhood vaccination decisions, replacing it with state or provider control Major child health issues like rising obesity, increasing autism rates, and chronic illness prevention are absent from the AAP's top 10 priorities The AAP uses rare measles outbreaks to justify removing personal and religious vaccine exemptions, despite measles mortality already being near zero before mass vaccination began Ignoring preventive strategies, the AAP's approach sets children up for lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical products rather than building lasting health

On this episode of Stinchfield, we dive into the charts Big Pharma doesn’t want you to see. For decades, the mortality rates from major infectious diseases—measles, whooping cough, polio, scarlet fever—were already plummeting long before the vaccines were ever introduced. Better sanitation, nutrition, and public health measures drove those declines, yet Big Pharma rewrote the history books to claim all the credit. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been shining a light on these shocking numbers, but the mainstream media ignores it. When you see the charts for yourself, the truth is undeniable: vaccines were not the magic bullet they want you to believe. This episode exposes how the pharmaceutical industry has manipulated the narrative, raked in billions, and silenced those who dare to ask questions. If you’ve ever been told to “trust the science,” you need to hear this. The data tells a very different story—and it’s one that could change the way you see modern medicine forever.
