#181 Peter Attia - The Science of Longevity, Nutrition Myths and Medicine 3.0

he has been more than discredited for what he did to completely and deliberately and fraudulently manipulate data to make a case that the MMR vaccine caused COVID. You mean autism? I'm sorry, caused autism. I've done a complete podcast on this, so if people are interested, I interviewed the journalist who's done great work on this, and we kind of go through all the work. His name is Brian Deer.

Not a pro-vaccine guy, by the way. Doesn't care about vaccines one bit, despite the fact that people have tried to make him the face of MMR. He's like, nope, I just care about science.
