Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | I think that's a huge issue that we have right now in that there isn't a push to make vaccines better or safer. |
| 0:06.6 | The standard kind of discussion is like, oh, it's one in a million kids has a severe reaction. |
| 0:10.0 | I don't think that's true. I think it's more than that. I'm positive. It's more than that. And that's just of what we know. |
| 0:14.9 | And we really just don't have a good understanding of long-term risks |
| 0:17.9 | and whether asthma and allergies and all these other things are really related to vaccines |
| 0:22.3 | because we don't really study them long-term. |

| 0:20.8 | are really related to vaccines because we don't really study them long-term. And I think that's |

| 1:10.3 | Most other similar products only contain |
