US COVID Vaccine Policy by Vibes

Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest in public health including:

  • The FDA’s new rules on Covid boosters

  • RFK’s claim that Americans shouldn’t take his advice

  • Florida’s decision to remove fluoride from the drinking water

  • New proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP

  • A genetic breakthrough that saved the life of a 9 month old baby

Then Abdul talks to prescription drug policy expert Dr. Aaron Kesselheim about Trump’s feeble attempt to address drug prices, and what could actually be done to bring them down.
