  • The CDC Is Unrecognizable — And It's Costing Lives
    Nov 24 2025

    This episode dives into the unraveling of America's public health infrastructure as political interference reshapes the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Jonathan and Wendy walk through the CDC's new vaccine-autism messaging, the chaos and infighting inside the FDA, cuts to critical NIH trials, and Jay Bhattacharya's controversial "pandemic plan" built on personal responsibility instead of public health action. With outbreaks of measles, pertussis, and flu rising, they explore how misinformation, censorship, and agency dysfunction are putting the country at risk.

  • FDA in Crisis: V. Prasad, Scandals & the Collapse of Vaccine Regulation
    Nov 17 2025

    This episode dives deep into the escalating chaos inside the FDA as leaders, scientists, and biotech insiders publicly revolt against the agency's current direction. Hosts Jonathan and Wendy break down the explosive STAT News investigations revealing mass resignations, internal fear, political interference, and allegations of mismanagement under V. Prasad's leadership.

    The episode unpacks the controversial rejection of a promising Huntington's disease gene therapy, accusations of shifting scientific standards, and the quiet but aggressive attempt by FDA officials — including Tracy Beth Høeg — to restrict access to COVID vaccines for young men. From vaccine policy upheavals to political pressure from the RFK Jr. administration, this conversation exposes the "soap opera" unraveling inside the nation's most important medical regulatory body — and what the turmoil could mean for patients, public trust, and the future of science in America.

  • Trump-Based Medicine: How Science Lost Its Soul
    Nov 3 2025

    In this gripping Halloween episode marking the second anniversary of We Want Them Infected, hosts Dr. Jonathan Howard and Dr. Wendy Orange confront the chilling reality of America under "Trump II." They dissect the collapse of public health, the weaponization of medicine, and the transformation of science into "Trump-Based Medicine"—a term Jonathan coins to describe physicians parroting political dogma over data.

    The duo highlights interviews and statements by Vinay Prasad, Marty Makary, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff, who now echo President Trump's pseudoscientific vaccine directives—like splitting the MMR shot and delaying Hepatitis B vaccines. They warn that this alignment with anti-vaccine figures such as RFK Jr. and Andrew Wakefield marks a dangerous regression that could undo decades of medical progress.

    They also expose turmoil within the FDA, where Prasad's leadership has allegedly created a culture of fear, and discuss the growing exodus of scientists from federal health agencies. From declining measles vaccination rates to government loyalty tests, Howard and Orange paint a harrowing portrait of a nation sliding into scientific authoritarianism.

    The episode closes with their sobering realization: despite years of warning, even they underestimated how dark things could get.
