In part 2 of this episode, Andrea, Alexis and Diego interview the renowned  @dr.andrealove , a PHD immunologist and Microbiologist who works in cancer research and public education regarding the Make America Healthy Again movement led by RFK Jr, taking a critical eye unraveling the science and pseudoscience behind each talking point by talking point, including excessive vaccine schedule claims, vaccine safety, efficacy, the evidence regarding harms vs benefits of fluoride, Glyphosphate use in crops and GMO.

Does the MAHA movement have any good in it? What does the data say (Alexis played Devil's advocate here and cited the evidence in favor of MAHA for it to be fairly critically appraised in the spirit of equipoise) while all parties involved discussed whether it had merit or not and what the bulk of the data actually suggests.
