About this episode

Dr. Bob Sears discusses the circumcision debate, maternal vaccination, and parental rights.

A generation ago, pregnant women were rarely offered vaccines. Today, they're encouraged to get multiple shots before their baby takes a single breath. Dr. Bob Sears, pediatrician, vaccine educator, and author of The Vaccine Book , joins us to discuss parental choice, informed consent, and the growing debate around maternal vaccination. We also dive into circumcision—and his perspective may surprise you. Thank you to our sponsors!
