In this week’s episode of Paging America, Miles and Dr. Rob react to the surge in political violence and the role platforms like X play in amplifying threats. They debunk RFK Jr.’s looming “Tylenol causes autism” claim and unpack FL Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo’s push to end vaccine mandates while blue states form regional public-health alliances. Finally, Dr. Rob interviews Dr. Charles Holmes (former CMO of the PEPFAR, President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, under Obama, now at Georgetown) on how funding freezes impact America’s credibility abroad and what’s at stake for millions relying on HIV treatment globally.
