The MeidasTouch Podcast
Meidas Health, Episode 7: Misinformation, MAHA, Measles, and the Future of Medicine (with Drs. Peter Hotez and Sapna Singh)

Um, you know, cause I would discuss with Bobby and as, as I was calling them, you know, the, um, uh, the autism genes and the genetic basis of autism. And I said, you know, there, it doesn't mean that it's all the rise and apparent rise in autism cases, mostly due to shifting, uh, definitions and case criteria for autism. But I said there is some environmental influence.

And I talked to him about several environmental exposures that could help to create autism. For instance, if you're pregnant and not aware of it and you're on an anti-seizure medicine called Depakote or valproic acid, that interacts with autism genes early on in pregnancy, and your child has a higher likelihood of being born with an autism phenotype.

And I said to him, I said, you know, you're an environmental attorney. You should be all over these environmental exposures because there is a role. And he had zero interest. I mean, less than zero interest because it was all about suing vaccine companies. So, you know, all the stuff that he's saying is, maybe there's a few,

Well, something that gives me hope is Dr. Singh. I mean, listening to her, how articulate she is, and I'm so proud that she's our chief medical officer at Texas Children's Hospital. I mean, what could be better than that, right? I mean, just that was really brilliant. And, by the way, the pediatricians at Texas Children's are an extraordinary group of people.

I mean, and pediatricians in general in our country. I mean, the commitment, the passion, I mean, it comes through every time you talk to an American pediatrician most times. And so that gives me a lot of hope. Yeah. The other thing that gives me hope is the science itself is extraordinary.
