Much of today’s show was dedicated to vaccine topics and a couple of important interviews. In the first half, I speak to the author of the excellent book, Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism: My Journey as a Vaccine Scientist, Pediatrician, and Autism Dad, Peter Hotez, MD, PhD.
In addition to going through some news in the second half, I also speak to Xingru Chen with the Dartmouth College Department of Mathematics about her recent study, Imperfect vaccine and hysteresis.
