Dan Pfeiffer: 本期节目深入探讨了小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪、让美国再次健康的运动以及当前疫苗政策中发生的危险变化。小肯尼迪正在悄悄地拆除美国人依赖了几十年的公共卫生基础设施，而特朗普的非法驱逐、违宪空袭和加密货币诈骗却吸引了大部分注意力。我邀请凯特琳·格达利纳博士来讨论这场运动是什么，为什么它能引起这么多人的共鸣，以及我们是否能做些什么来阻止它。 Katelyn Jetelina: ACIP 是一个由疫苗学、儿科、医学、流行病学等领域的专家组成的外部委员会，在疫苗和医疗产品从临床试验到人们获得的过程中发挥着重要作用。FDA 首先决定疫苗是否安全有效，然后 ACIP 会评估证据，并决定谁应该接种疫苗、何时接种、以何种时间表接种以及在哪里接种。小肯尼迪突然彻底改变了 ACIP，用八个人取代了原有的 17 名成员，这些人有的是在疫苗方面没有任何经验的人，有的是反疫苗者，还有一些是 COVID 反对者。卫生与公共服务部部长有很多手段来影响疫苗政策、普及和获取，而小肯尼迪的这一举动是一个巨大的红线，令人非常担忧。这次任命是基于意识形态的，而且是以一种非常迅速的方式进行的，显然是计划了几个月才能如此迅速地执行。

Shownotes Transcript

Health Secretary RFK Jr. has gutted the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, replacing its members with a mix of anti-vaxxers, COVID contrarians, and medical non-professionals. What do these sweeping changes to our vaccine infrastructure—and the rise of the ironically named MAHA movement, short for Make America Healthy Again—mean for the health and well-being of everyday Americans? Dan sits down with epidemiologist and data scientist Katelyn Jetelina to unpack the implications of Kennedy's policies on flu season, COVID, and a broad range of preventable diseases. Katelyn also explains how the politicization of seed oils, food dyes, and fluoride distracts from the public health issues that actually matter—and shares what she learned from grassroots MAHA organizers about their uneasy alliance with MAGA.
