Big Pharma overwhelmingly controls many of our academic institutions. They certainly control the once-storied medical journals like The Lancet and JAMA and BMJ, so that those publications are nothing more than the marketing arm for Big Pharma.

We need to take an ad break, but when we come back, I want to talk a little bit more about that and then get into what's happening with measles and what's reality and what's fiction with regard to measles. So we'll come back after the break.

There's nothing in medicine that doesn't boil down to a risk benefit calculation. It is the mandate of public health to consider the impact of any particular mitigation scheme on the entire population. This is uncharted territory, Drew. Welcome back.

I'm thrilled to be joined here today with Dr. Alejandro Diaz, pediatric immunologist and allergist and the chief of pediatric medicine at the Wellness Company. Looking at that ad, Dr. Diaz, from the Wellness Company that just rolled, I am really proud of the kits that the company has put together. They really empower people to have on hand

the sorts of things that they would need to manage many, many different medical emergencies. We've realized, I think, during the pandemic, at least I did, that people are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. And if you give them things like antibiotics and antivirals and medications to treat burns and nausea and vomiting and those sorts of things, they won't just take them willy-nilly.

They actually... But in order for them to be useful, they really have to have them in their possession before the crisis occurs. I know that we've got a new pediatric kit, the children's kit, you know, which includes a lot of different things that you probably use on a regular basis. But I'm very proud of these kits that we've made available.

I agree with you. I agree. Right before the break, we were talking about the fact that we were misled, misguided, indoctrinated, lied to, whatever you want to say, during our extensive medical training. I think this is largely a result of the...

influence of big pharma and the tremendous amount of money that they wield in certainly in Washington, the fact that they control so much of the advertising dollars. The United States is one of only two countries in the world that allows pharmaceutical advertising on television, New Zealand being the other. the amount of influence that they have, and therefore they influence what we were taught.

So great segue into measles. Everybody knows, hopefully, that the new crisis du jour now is the measles outbreak. We've had several. But I certainly was taught, and I can't assume you were as well, that the decrease in measles deaths and measles as a disease burden was the result of vaccines, of kids getting the MMR vaccine. And that's why, you know, measles isn't an issue anymore.

And it's now the problem that people aren't getting vaccinated. And that's why we have this outbreak. So talk a little bit about that, the truth versus fiction.
