America Dissected

MAHA Comes for Vaccine

Listen Later

Abdul and Katelyn discuss a busy week in health news including:

  • The most troubling aspects of this week's ACIP meeting, after RFK Jr's appointees convened to set vaccine policy for next fall.
    • A flimsy deal among the nation's biggest health insurers, who mutually pinky-promised to improve their prior authorization processes.
      • RFK Jr's announcement that the US will no longer fund GAVI, the global organization that vaccinates poor children around the world.
        • A new court order that demands the Trump Administration reinstate hundreds of NIH grants.

          • Then Abdul sits down with author and legal expert Leah Litman to discuss the biggest SCOTUS rulings of the year, and what it means for the future of public health.
