Measles is back in South Carolina—and it didn’t happen by accident. In this episode, Rick Wilson lays out why RFK Jr. may be the most dangerous member of Trump’s cabinet: a powerful megaphone for anti-vaccine propaganda that is eroding public trust in science and reopening the door to diseases America already defeated. As vaccination rates fall, outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, and even polio are no longer theoretical—they’re imminent. This isn’t “debate,” it’s policy failure driven by conspiracy thinking, misinformation, and reckless governance. When anti-science ideology moves from the internet into the federal government, the consequences are measured in outbreaks, hospital beds, and children’s lives. This episode breaks down how we got here, why public health experts are alarmed, and what happens next if facts no longer matter.
