Ep95: The Vaccination Crisis, Eroding Public Trust and Safeguarding Children's Health w/Dr. Paul Offit

A conversation with Dr. Paul Offit

We didn’t just eradicate measles through vaccines, we eradicated all memory of it - that’s why vaccine hesitancy is on the rise.

Today’s guest Dr. Paul Offit is angry. He’s an undisputed authority in the vaccination field, professor of vaccinology at the University of Pennsylvania, co-inventor of life-saving vaccine RotaTeq, author… in short, Offit has been in the room for the creation of policies that affected hundreds of millions of people.

That’s why he stands in disbelief as health secretary RFK Jr. continues to share disinformation, shred the CDC of its ability to monitor the population, and cause real-world health crises in our communities.

In defiance, he’s sharing his message loud and clear, and this episode shines as our most comprehensive guide yet on the vaccination crisis. 

It’s time to make a collective effort, to safeguard our children's health.

We spoke about RFK Jr.'s long-standing anti-vaccine stance, historical perspectives on vaccination's successes and controversies, the evolution and impacts of vaccines on diseases like polio, measles, and hepatitis B, and the erosion of public trust in vaccines.
