In this episode, Dr. Jockers talks with Dr. Joel Warsh about what doctors aren't taught about vaccines in medical school and why long-term safety research is still missing. They explore how the rise in chronic illness among kids might connect to current vaccine practices.

Dr. Warsh explains why asking hard questions isn't being "anti-science" — it's how we make medicine safer. He shares why vaccine schedules should be personalized and how real informed consent helps parents make better choices.

Together, they break down what's actually in vaccines, how they're tested, and why open, honest conversations about health are long overdue.
