Summary

We are BACK for season 4 of the podcast! We are starting out with a bang by having a candid conversation with a personal hero of ours, Dr. Peter Hotez-- and we do not shy away from controversy. We talk about anti-science aggression generally, as well as his (and our) personal experiences with anti-science vitriol. We talk about his reasoning for not debating RFK Jr. about vaccines, despite much public prodding. We chat about the future of infectious disease and what we can expect to see as a result of climate change and other social and environmental factors that impact our health. And, yes, of course we check in about the current state of COVID and COVID vaccines. Trust us, you do not want to miss this!
