Rethinking vaccine safety with Dr. Bob Sears. We discuss the shifting medical beliefs around pediatric care and infection.

This conversation with Dr. Bob Sears, pediatrician and author, digs into how his views on childhood vccination have changed after 30 years in practice, and what he thinks "safe and effective" should actually mean. If you've ever felt confused by conflicting messaging on this topic, or wondered how to navigate it with your own pediatrician, family, or friends, this episode is for you. We talk about Dr. Sears' biggest misconceptions he's since corrected, what he's observed comparing vccinated and unv*ccinated patients over three decades, and how to approach these conversations without losing relationships.

Getting clarity on this topic is not about picking a side and shutting down the conversation. It's about asking better questions, understanding what the research can and can't tell us, and giving yourself permission to slow down and think it through. Dr. Sears breaks down the difference between disease risk and v*ccine risk, tackles the transmission question head-on, and gets honest about what he tells his own patients.
