The Excerpt · How ‘crunchy mom’ vaccine skeptics joined RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement · 21 Jan 2026 podcast

And so today, when you hear crunchy moms, basically you're talking about a conservative mother who is more than likely an anti-vaxxer.

I mean, essentially, you have a distrust in medical science, I think is what it comes down to.

It's a distrust in science in general, but a distrust in medical science particularly.

And one of the things we examine in the episode is this kind of dichotomy between these people.

They trust the science in some ways, but they don't trust the science when it comes to vaccines.

And you have this sort of grassroots crunchy moms movement happening at the same time as you have this very

very organized, very kind of driven political movement that is led by RFK.

It's really hard to describe, but essentially, I mean, I really pushed them hard on this during my interviews, but it's very strange because they trust the sort of established science when it comes to nutrition, when it comes to food, right?

They will sort of say things like, well, heavy metals are very bad for children to ingest.

And the evidence that they point to are sort of National Institute of Health studies and sort of studies by large scientific organizations.

But when it comes to vaccines, the studies that they're pointing at are sort of these niche, not established scientists.

They're pointing at sort of people who are really kind of outliers in the scientific establishment.

And they never really explain that dichotomy.

I'd say the best way they describe it is by essentially saying that most people are coming at vaccines the wrong way.

They're coming at vaccines from a place of implicit trust and implicit faith in science.

And they say that they simply don't have that when it comes to medical science.

They say that while they will trust what the science kind of shows in general, when it comes to the medical establishment, they believe it's sort of controlled and manipulated and they refuse to kind of believe the evidence that's placed in front of them and the studies that are placed in front of them.

So, yeah, I asked him about his own personal history of vaccines and he had some pretty interesting stuff to tell me.

What was the last vaccine you yourself had?

Brandy and April, they are two conservative moms who describe themselves as crunchy.
