Lessons for COVID-19 from Debunking Vaccine Denialism (S03 Ep09)

This week, the early stages of the 2016 presidential election collided headlong with the phenomenon of vaccine denialism, with two candidates ending up in intensive care for foot-in-mouth disease. Meanwhile, the Obama budget is out, and from the looks of it, it seems the president wants to swing for the fences on infrastructure. early-childhood care, and increased federal spending. But did he notice that Congress is controlled by the GOP?Finally, this was a big week for Downton Abbey-inspired Congressional interior decoration scandals. Hosted on Acast.

Vaccine Denialism, Obama's Budget And A Downton Abbey Scandal

Paul Offit

Recently, there was another nail in the coffin for vaccine skeptics. The British medical journal The Lancet took the dramatic step of retracting a 1998 paper that lies at the root of modern vaccine denialism. Authored by a doctor named Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues, it was heavily touted as having uncovered a new cause of autism—the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, or, the MMR vaccine. Not so fast. Twelve years later, there are more problems with the paper than you can count—and yet somehow, it managed to spawn a movement. In this conversation with host Chris Mooney, Dr. Paul Offit— author of  Autism’s False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search  for a Cure—discusses the state of the vaccine skeptic movement in light of this latest news. In particular, Offit explores why the tides may be turning on the movement—as well as the grave public health consequences of ongoing vaccine avoidance. Paul A. Offit, MD is the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases  and the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s  Hospital of Philadelphia. In addition, Dr. Offit is the Maurice R.  Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology and a Professor of Pediatrics at the  University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Dr. Offit has published  more than 130 papers in medical and scientific journals in the areas of  rotavirus-specific immune responses and vaccine safety. He is also the  co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine, RotaTeq, recommended for universal  use in infants by the CDC. Dr Offit was a member of the Advisory  Committee on Immunization Practices to the Centers for Disease Control  and Prevention, is a founding advisory board member of the Autism  Science Foundation, and is the author of five books, the latest of which  is Autism’s False Prophets.
