America Dissected

LISTEN: MAHA Comes for Vaccines

Abdul and Katelyn discuss a busy week in health news including:

The most troubling aspects of this week's ACIP meeting, after RFK Jr's appointees convened to set vaccine policy for next fall.
A flimsy deal among the nation's biggest health insurers, who mutually pinky-promised to improve their prior authorization processes.
RFK Jr's announcement that the US will no longer fund GAVI, the global organization that vaccinates poor children around the world.
A new court order that demands the Trump Administration reinstate hundreds of NIH grants.

Then Abdul sits down with author and legal expert Leah Litman to discuss the biggest SCOTUS rulings of the year, and what it means for the future of public health.
