Discover how political manipulation of the CDC vaccine committee is weakening disease surveillance, leading to preventable infant deaths from measles, RSV, and whooping cough across the US.

Short Summary

  • Infant deaths have tragically resumed due to preventable diseases like pertussis (whooping cough) in states like Kentucky.
  • The structure of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has shifted, favoring political allies over established public health science.
  • Data collection for critical pathogens like RSV and Flu is being scaled back, creating a "no data, no crisis" environment that obscures governmental failures.
  • This erosion of transparency is identified as "autocracy," where controlling information directly harms vulnerable populations first.

This episode features Dr. Haydée Brown and Dr. Sonya Sloan detailing the alarming resurgence of old diseases in 2025, putting newborns at extreme risk.

I almost died over 60 years ago from pertussis. And was lucky to miss getting polio. There is NO excuse for this in this day and age.

This hits hard. My Uncle died at 3 months of pertussis...in 1940. This is shameful
