Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest in public health including:

The FDA’s new rules on Covid boosters

RFK’s claim that Americans shouldn’t take his advice

Florida’s decision to remove fluoride from the drinking water

Then Abdul talks to prescription drug policy expert Dr. Aaron Kesselheim about Trump’s feeble attempt to address drug prices, and what could actually be done to bring them down.
