Episode Details

Driven by vaccine misinformation, climate change, deforestation, and slashed federal funding, outbreaks are accelerating while CDC staffing plummets. Local health departments, starved of resources and left to handle everything alone, are collapsing under pressure. Experts warn this trend will worsen without urgent investment in prevention—because when we ignore the basics, we pay a far costlier price later.
