Polio, Propaganda, and the War on Health - with special guest Dru Heaton

from Libertarian-Minded

Vaccines Unmasked, Part 3: Polio, Propaganda, and War on HealthRecorded: August 7, 2025In Part 3, Peter and Dru tackle the story of polio and the vaccine myth that still shapes public opinion today. Was polio eradicated—or misdiagnosed? The conversation traces propaganda campaigns, vaccine injuries, and the eugenics philosophy of Jonas Salk, while revisiting the controversy around Andrew Wakefield and autism. At the center lies the principle of informed consent—and the fight to preserve it against a backdrop of fear and control.Show Links:Veterans Today: Anti-Vaxxers: Dupes or Terrorists?
