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

We'd have a big problem anyway, but now he's actively seeking to amplify this.

I think the disinformation is so dominant right now. You know, parents are coming in and they make the pediatrician feel like they're not keeping up with the literature. They are keeping up with the literature, but just not the fake stuff. And it's getting more sophisticated now. Well, yes and no. It's getting more science-y sounding to make it seem plausible. I mean, let me give you an example.

So you had the Florida Surgeon General, Latipo, gets up there and he says mRNA vaccines are causing turbo cancers because they're inserting foreign nucleic acid into our genome. Okay, well... You know, if you think about it a minute, there's no such thing as a turbo cancer.

It's a totally made up term where if you're, you know, if you're busy seeing patients all day saying, Hmm, is that something I missed, the turbo cancer? And then, you know, the lipid nanoparticle will deliver its package of nucleic acid past the cell membrane into the cytoplasm, but it doesn't get into the nucleus. For that, you need electroporation. That's why we have no licensed DNA vaccines.

But most pediatricians are not going to have that information at their fingertips. And the fact that we have Even if some residual nucleic acid does get into the nucleus, we have proteins of our innate immune system that block incorporation of foreign nucleic acid into our genome. Otherwise, if we didn't have that, that's part of our innate immune system.

If we didn't have that, every time we ate a hamburger, we'd have cow DNA in our genome. And And then the likelihood that's going to happen next to an oncogen is even more remote. So it's total BS. But, you know, I mean, I have an MD and a PhD and think about biochemistry and cells all the time. But, you know, there's not...

one of the things I think would be helpful is that if we had, you know, an Uber website where the pediatrician or the primary care physician could go to it and cause, you know, these things tend to circulate, um, and amplify and go viral, um, in batches. So, you know, they, same stuff keeps coming up for a month at a time until they switch to something else.
