Episode Description

With a measles outbreak occurring and potentially more childhood disease outbreaks on the horizon due to vaccine skepticism, it is a great time to talk about how the current anti-vax movement developed, and how it is affecting policy decisions made by the current administration. Science denialism is at the heart of many of these decisions and it is incredibly important that we face that information with scientific data. We are now getting into more controversial topics, but it does not help the greater good if we stay silent.
