Vaccine Conspiracies, Fluoride Myths, and America’s Broken Public-Health Discourse
Podcast: Plain English with Derek ThompsonPublished On: Fri Nov 22 2024
Description: Emily Oster, professor of economics at Brown University, joins the show to talk about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his theories about fluoride and vaccines, and how the media and science community should treat the most controversial topics. This is a new age of science and information, where trust seems to be shifting from institutions like the FDA and CDC to individuals like RFK Jr. and Oster, and I consider her a model of public health communication.
