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

One, we lose our measles elimination status, which was defined more than 25 years ago by the CDC for global immunization that says if transmission goes out for a full year, we've lost our measles elimination status. And remember, measles is usually the tip of the iceberg on this stuff. Measles is often the first breakthrough infection we see because it's so highly transmissible.

But we've got a six-fold rise in pertussis cases, whooping cough cases from 2023 to 2024. We've got polio in the wastewater in New York State. So So the concern is that our whole vaccine ecosystem is starting to unravel. And then you saw what the FDA did yesterday with blocking COVID vaccine use in kids and younger adults. And

And then the false claims that no childhood vaccines were tested through placebo controlled trial is absolute BS. I put up on my social media, just did a simple PubMed search, an informal PubMed search and, you know, printed out does dozens of. placebo-controlled trials for most of the childhood vaccines that I searched for. So I don't want to make this just about Mr. Kennedy.

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.
