Episode Details

Summary: This Safety Wars episode covers Trump's executive order overhauling childhood vaccine recommendations, splitting the MMR shot into three doses and cutting recommended vaccines from 18 to 11. Only six vaccines retain full recommendations. Critics like Senator Bill Cassidy call the order unscientific and dangerous, while the White House cites comparisons to peer nations.

The host revisits a December 2025 hepatitis B deep dive, since ACIP recently ended universal birth-dose vaccination for infants of hepatitis B-negative mothers, shifting to individual decision-making. He reviews hepatitis B basics, declining infection rates since 1991, and CDC's rationale.

He also presents a strongly-worded counterargument from Jake Scott (Genetic Literacy Project), warning that screening gaps, missed diagnoses, and administrative friction could cause thousands of new pediatric infections, cancers, and deaths, especially among underserved families. The episode closes questioning whether declining trust in public health institutions—accelerated since COVID—is worsening amid these controversial policy shifts, encouraging listeners to consult their own healthcare providers rather than take a firm stance.\
