About this episode
Why do some people delay or decline vaccines even when the science seems clear?
Dr. Mike Myers joins The Healthy Project Podcast to discuss what happens between medical evidence and the people asked to trust it.
Corey and Dr. Myers discuss the return of measles, vaccine misinformation, the role of healthcare providers in earning trust, and why distrust within Black and brown communities cannot simply be dismissed as “hesitancy.”
They also explore how social media has changed who people consider credible, why the COVID-19 vaccines were developed faster than many people expected, and what Dr. Myers learned while writing The Vaccine Bible.
Dr. Michael T. Myers Jr. is a Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained physician with more than 35 years of experience in primary care, pediatrics, healthcare leadership, and public health.
