Mass Firings at the NIH & CDC: What Comes Next?

from We Want Them Infected Podcast · host Jonathan Howard, MD, and Wendy Orent

Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent discuss the devastating consequences of public health misinformation, the rise of RFK Jr.'s influence, and the sweeping purges at institutions like the CDC, FDA, and NIH.    They examine how once-dismissive medical professionals are now reckoning with the damage as funding cuts and anti-vaccine policies take hold. The hosts also reflect on the role of social media in enabling misinformation and the hypocrisy of those who ignored warning signs for years.
