The New Vaccine Rules Have Parents Asking: Who Can We Trust?

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish

Michael asks a deceptively simple question: Should parents have the final say on their child’s vaccines? Dr. Brian McDonough joins to examine the Trump administration’s changes to childhood vaccine recommendations, the science behind the longstanding MMR schedule, rising measles concerns, and a growing crisis of trust in government health agencies. Plus, callers weigh in on where parental choice ends and public health begins. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
