I do believe that there are certain vaccinations that are highly beneficial. I also think there are a number of vaccinations that for public health reasons, should be explored further if for no other reason to discover that yes, we were right or no, we were wrong. It's just critically important.

I mean, you know, I think any self-respecting scientist would say, those are the data, let's look again. Now there's this real twist in the data around the autism vaccine thing that's really unfortunate. And this is one of the reasons why this is such a hot button issue is that the guy, Andrew Wakefield, originally tried to tie the vaccine to autism. He was found guilty of fraud. Okay.

Now I wasn't involved in the papers or the case, but like that puts a twist in everything because I believe he did, or he at least lost his medical license. Okay. There have been other instances, you know, of scientific fraud, but that one in particular caused the entire field to assume he was completely wrong about everything. And now there are folks like Robert Kennedy, who is a

like him or not, is our head of HHS. Okay. I actually know Robert. I actually am going to host Jay Bhattacharya, who is my colleague at Stanford on the, he's the head of NIH. And so I think right now there's a, there's here, what were the consequences?

So an important thing that must be done. I know this issue is, you know, I'm going to catch hate either way. What's a hot issue right now? It's a super hot issue. Listen, as a parent, can you imagine you have a kid and your kid seems for all measures, perfectly healthy. has some treatment, vaccine or a pill or a trip to the supermarket, and that kid fundamentally changes their behavior afterwards.

The one thing we know is, this is also a deep hypothalamic circuit, as we say, there is a hardwired circuit for mothers, especially. Dads can be protective, but mothers to protect their young. So when the moms are pissed off and curious, they are unrelenting. And no amount of discussion about that was resolved because the Wakefield thing was gone is gonna satisfy them. So my personal take is,

So my personal take is,

run the studies you need to run, make sure they're run properly with an unbiased look at all of this. So important because the thing about vaccines and autism is really a microcosm for a much larger theme about how much can we trust the medical community.
