In this week’s episode, we discuss leaked internal emails from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the questions surrounding COVID-19 vaccination in children and adolescents. What did the authorities know about potentially serious side effects, and how important is transparency in maintaining public trust in medical recommendations?
We then turn our attention to the physical health of children and young people. The Swedish Public Health Agency and the National Agency for Education have launched **Breaks**, an initiative designed to introduce more movement into the school day through short activity breaks. But is that enough? We also explore the proposal to introduce Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) in schools and how offering more ways to get active could help young people discover an activity they genuinely want to continue.
Two important topics, united by one key question: How can we create better conditions for health, physical activity, and well-being?
