Vaccines, Adjuvants, and Informed Consent: What an Oncologist Found When He Read the Studies - and How It Changed His Decisions for His Own Kids | Dr. Nanda | Part 2
from Chief Milestones · host Reshma Vadlamudi
This episode isn't about vaccine politics.It's about what happens when a doctor trained in oncology applies the same research standards to childhood vaccines that he applies to cancer treatment - and what he found when he did.In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Nanda - cancer physician, regenerative farmer, and father of two - walks through the mechanism behind how vaccines work, what the adjuvant actually contains, and why the research structure for most childhood vaccines left him with questions he couldn't resolve.This was not an ideological conversation. It was a scientific one.We cover:What the adjuvant is - and why it's the ingredient that shapes his concernThe parallel between adjuvant targeting and chemotherapy collateral damageWhy most childhood vaccines were never compared against a true placeboThe "number needed to treat" calculation - and why he thinks it should come firstWhat he says to parents who are unsure but afraid to question the narrativeHow a failing backyard garden became the origin story for his regenerative farmWhy he believes immunity, microbiome, and soil health are the same problemIf you're a parent navigating decisions with incomplete information, a clinician who has felt the tension between protocol and individual patient context, or simply someone who wants to understand the mechanism before forming an opinion - this conversation is built for you.This isn't a highlight reel. It's a breakdown of how a real operator reads evidence - under pressure, not in hindsight.Reach out: [email protected] Milestones is a video podcast featuring honest conversations with founders, parents, and investors about building real businesses, staying healthy, and raising families.New episodes release Tuesdays and Fridays.Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChiefMilestonesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chiefmilestones/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HLDAe7SP3GnJSTOgAQqLy?si=6e9ac82be46f413cApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-milestones/id1861185226
