Do Vaccines Cause Autism? The Best Arguments — Then the Evidence - Medical Conspiracies

In this episode of The PTCH Podcast, Dr. Jason Young (chiropractor) and Dr. Kathy Lynch (DPT) do the most annoying thing possible: we give medical conspiracy theories their BEST argument—then we stress-test them with biology, incentives, and real-world evidence.We tackle two of the biggest modern claims: Do vaccines cause autism (and is there a cover-up)?Is the cure for cancer being hidden because cancer treatment is profitable?Along the way, we break down why these ideas spread, what “sounds” convincing, where the arguments fall apart, and how you can protect yourself from getting played by bad logic, bad data, and viral headlines.Plus: Conspiracy Court—you be the judge. We quiz Kathy and Raul on which conspiracies were actually proven true (and yes, some real ones are… bleak).Chapters are included below.Disclaimer: This episode is for entertainment and general education only.
