The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Yeah, I remember you talking about that, the Maha Summit, zero letters and you had over a thousand that you'd sent out, you know, just warning.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I want to go back to the vaccines for a minute because it's a real hot topic.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

And I think it's a hot topic because, not because of the real science, but because of the, you know, political cloud that surrounds it.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

And if we lay politics aside for a minute, and we understand that, you know, that,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And pharmaceutical companies that make these vaccines that make it under the schedule are protected from liability.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

There's a liability shield for them.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

As a purely capitalistic move, if I could create a product and not have any liability, I would drive a truck through that.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

And I think that's what you see happen.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

You see the number of vaccines on the schedule absolutely explode.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

18 vaccines in the first 18 months of life, a lot of which are vaccinating against statistically insignificant risk or almost non-existent risk, hepatitis B, for example.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Is there a review process for, excuse me, for these vaccines?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Because the attack on the FDA and I guess you to a lesser extent is that, you know, you're going to kill millions of people because you're banning vaccines, which has not happened.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

That's right.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Which has not happened at all.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

I think you're, I mean, from my perspective, you're taking a very intelligent approach to say, hey, we can't have mandates for something where we don't have data.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

Right?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

We can still make it available if you choose, if through the informed consent process, you make the decision to be vaccinated or have your child vaccinated, but we're not going to say to get into public school, you are required to have X, Y, and Z. So where does the FDA land and where is the FDA going on its investigation of vaccines, especially mRNA vaccines, which are highly controversial now?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

So we're going to return to a gold standard science threshold for approvals at the FDA.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

We're not going to be blindly rubber stamping mRNA COVID vaccines every year in perpetuity with no data.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

That's the path that we've been on.
