When Anti-Vax Ideology Takes Over the FDA: The Prasad-Makary Playbook

The FDA is unraveling. Scientists are being fired, vaccine access is shrinking, and top researchers are fleeing the country. And at the center of the storm? RFK Jr.'s appointees—Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad—men who once sat behind keyboards criticizing pandemic policy, now wield real power with devastating results.

In this week's episode, Jonathan and Wendy walk us through the chaos: from dismissals without explanation to fabricated claims about who’s being laid off, to the surreal moment when the very people who told us COVID was like the flu are now deciding who gets vaccinated. They call out journalist John Tierney for whitewashing pandemic history and expose the hypocrisy of pundits who cheered on herd immunity while vilifying actual public health officials.

This isn't just a takedown—it's a warning. When contrarians become the establishment, science doesn't just get silenced. It gets rewritten.
