  • RFK Jr.'s Tylenol Files
    Sep 29 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Dr. Brett (PhD, Epidemiology) and Andy break down the viral claim by President Trump and RFK Jr. that Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism.

    They cut through the noise:

    • What the White House actually said (nothing close to confirmation)
    • What the JAMA studies show (associations, not causation)
    • What RFK Jr. and Trump’s framing gets wrong
    • What the evidence does suggest — and what it doesn’t

    Listen to cut through all the BS and walk away with what you need to know.

    In this episode, we tackle the dangers of celebrity-driven vaccine misinformation, focusing on figures like Alicia Silverstone, who may still be Clueless. We also explore the continued influence of Andrew Wakefield, whose discredited study sparked the anti-vaccine movement, and the legal efforts of RFK Jr.'s lawyer to challenge vaccine mandates. This episode highlights the real-world consequences of misinformation and discusses how we can fight back for the sake of public health.

    Send us a text

    In this episode, we explore the concerning potential for the return of polio, a disease that once terrified the world before vaccines brought it to the brink of eradication. What's behind the recent reports of poliovirus in wastewater and isolated cases? And how do vaccine gaps, global health inequities, and misinformation play a role in its possible resurgence?

    Stay tuned next week as we dive into Polio part 2 centered around celebrity vaccine misinformation, who's trying to get the FDA to revoke the approval of polio vaccine and why we should all be investing in iron lung technology.
