About this episode

Rick Wilson discusses the resurgence of diseases due to anti-vaccine propaganda and its implications for public health.

Measles is back in South Carolina—and it didn’t happen by accident. In this episode, Rick Wilson lays out why RFK Jr. may be the most dangerous member of Trump’s cabinet: a powerful megaphone for anti-vaccine propaganda that is eroding public trust in science and reopening the door to diseases America already defeated. As vaccination rates fall, outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, and even polio are no longer theoretical—they’re imminent. This isn’t “debate,” it’s policy failure driven by conspiracy thinking, misinformation, and reckless governance. When anti-science ideology moves from the internet into the federal government, the consequences are measured in outbreaks, hospital beds, and children’s lives. This episode breaks down how we got here, why public health experts are alarmed, and what happens next if facts no longer matter. About The Enemies List: American democracy is being threatened, and *Rick Wilson* knows exactly who is responsible. In each episode, Rick calls out those who are the enemies of democracy and exposes their treachery- because sunlight is the best disinfectant. https://bit.ly/3P82A5g Subscribe to Rick's Substack: https://therickwilson.substack.com/…
