30.2 Vaccine Nuance, THE SCIENCE, and Alzheimer's Drugs with Nikki Johnson, MD

Join pediatrician Dr. Nikki Johnson, MD, for part 2 of our conversation as WE TALK ABOUT VACCINES in a nuanced fashion.  Neither of us are for or against ALL vaccines (and both of us have fully vaccinated kids... well, not including COVID or flu...), but rather take them in piecemeal and openly discuss the need for more research on their long-term safety and efficacy.  We also delve into our appreciation of RFK Jr.'s attempts to clean up our food (and the skepticism that removing things like pesticides will be all good without any downside), then air our grievances with his lack of clarity around important societal conversations like which vaccinations he universally recommends (and the dangers of re-emergence of things like measles outbreaks due to poor vaccine uptake).  Nikki brings up Tracy Beth Hoeg, a Danish-American scientist and physician who has done deep dives into the differences between Denmark's vaccinations schedule and ours in the United States.  Additionally, Dr. Johnson compares what big pharma is doing with the new class of drugs to treat Alzheimer's to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, in the sense that people are unknowingly being experimented on with a class of drugs that does not have anything close to a favorable benefit : risk ratio.  We also delve into our appreciation of RFK Jr., as well as our beef with his lack of clarity around important societal conversations like which vaccinations.  Maybe most importantly, we repeatedly exclaim that THE SCIENCE IS PROPAGANDA... aka anyone who tells you that something is certain in the scientific community is not behaving much like a scientist and may have an ulterior financial motive behind their confident assertions.  Hope you enjoy our conversation and promote us to your friends, family, colleagues, etc. If you're passionate about what we do here at Renegade Psych, we're now on Patreon!
