This is TED Health, a podcast from TED, and I'm your host, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider.

Speaking up for what's true, especially when it's personal, isn't easy.

But in a world where misinformation about health spreads fast and loud, choosing to use your voice can be a powerful act of courage.

Today we're kicking off a special mini-series on vaccines.

And in a time when misinformation spreads quicker than facts, understanding vaccines has never been more critical to our personal and public health.

This mini-series explores how trust in science is built and how it's broken through real stories, expert insights, and what we can all do to stay informed.

As our public health systems face mounting challenges, this series offers the clarity and context everyone needs to make confident, evidence-based choices.

In today's episode, you'll hear from someone who did just that.

Ethan Lindenberger didn't set out to start a movement.

He just asked a question.
