Are RFK Jr. & MAHA Coming for Your Vaccine?

Health Secretary RFK Jr. has gutted the CDC's vaccine advisory
committee, replacing its members with a mix of anti-vaxxers,
COVID contrarians, and medical non-professionals. What do these
sweeping changes to our vaccine infrastructure—and the rise of
the ironically named MAHA movement, short for Make America
Healthy Again—mean for the health and well-being of everyday
Americans? Dan sits down with epidemiologist and data scientist
Katelyn Jetelina to unpack the implications of Kennedy's policies
on flu season, COVID, and a broad range of preventable diseases.
Katelyn also explains how the politicization of seed oils, food
dyes, and fluoride distracts from the public health issues that
actually matter—and shares what she learned from grassroots MAHA
organizers about their uneasy alliance with MAGA.
