In this episode, I catch you up on the long gap between shows, a family trip to the Pacific Northwest, and a few travel mishaps before getting into the stories that finally pushed me to record again. The main thread is vaccines: I discuss a recent Children’s Health Defense report about Idaho mother Andrea Shaw, who was charged with murder after insisting her twin toddlers died days after receiving vaccines, and I explain why that case struck me as both tragic and revealing. I also talk through Aaron Siri’s book Vaccines, Amen, why I think it’s one of the clearest resources on vaccine safety claims, and why it stood out to me as especially useful for parents who haven’t yet dug deeply into the issue.

I also spend time on the broader autism crisis and why I believe it should be treated as a major cultural and public-health story, highlighting recent Substack pieces from Toby Rogers, Steve Kirsch, and Unbekoming that shaped my thinking. From there, I connect those ideas to a long reflection on why evidence often fails to wake people up, using Unbekoming’s essay on The Truman Show as a framework for understanding institutional trust, social pressure, and medical conformity. I close with an update to my thinking on alpha-gal syndrome, including Russell Schierling’s argument that vaccines may be a key part of the sensitization mechanism usually blamed only on ticks, along with references to Sasha Latypova, Kris Newby’s Bitten, and related work on Lyme and tick-borne illness.
