Vaccine Safety, Effectiveness & Informed Consent with Dr. Joel Warsh

Vaccines may be one of the most controversial topics in modern healthcare — but should simply asking questions really be considered taboo? In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast [https://foundationalhealth365.com/podcast/?src=podcast], Dr. Kevin Schultz sits down with pediatrician and epidemiologist Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh for a thoughtful conversation about vaccine safety, effectiveness, informed consent [https://foundationalhealth365.com/podcast/reclaiming-vitality-and-health-freedom-nick-and-leah-wilson/?src=podcast], chronic disease, and the growing distrust in modern medicine. Rather than taking an extreme stance, this discussion focuses on the questions many parents and individuals are quietly asking about vaccines and the health of their children. Dr. Warsh explains why open scientific discussion on questions like these—not censorship—is critical for improving public health and rebuilding trust.
