On Call by Paging America: Meet RFK's Newest Anti-Vax Hire

More Junk Science From RFK Jr.

RFK Jr. has tapped a controversial Army doctor to investigate thousands of alleged "vaccine deaths" within the U.S. military. Hosts Miles Baker and Dr. Kristin Lyerly discuss the appointment of Army doctor, Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a vaccine skeptic who once claimed the Pfizer COVID vaccine contains antifreeze, and break down her track record of medical misinformation. It’s a long list that ranges from confusing polyethylene glycol with ethylene glycol to citing raw VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) data as proof of harm, and explain why public health experts say her claims don't hold up. They also unpack what her dual role under HHS and the Department of War could mean for service members' health and trust in military medicine.
