Boos, Boosters and BooBoos

Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest in science and health including:

  • Senator Joni Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” townhall moment
  • The CDC and FDA’s conflicting guidance on Covid boosters
  • The errors in RFK Jr's MAHA report
  • More devastating funding cuts to medical research, including a future HIV vaccine

Then Abdul sits down with Dr. Carmen Rojas, the President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation to talk about the role of philanthropy over the next four years, and why MCF has dramatically increased their funding to non-profits to meet this moment.
