When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far ft. Dr. Paul Offit (6x40)

: 18, 2022

Dr. Paul Offit is the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee. He's also the author of Overkill: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far, one of my favorite books about medicine and the increasingly out of control elements of our healthcare system. I invited Dr. Offit on the channel to discuss a wide range of topics, such as antibiotic use, reducing fevers, Silicon Valley medicine, cancer treatment, Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, multivitamins, "big pharma", punishing medical influencers who abuse their power and reach, the biological disaster that occurred during the administration of the polio vaccine, boosters, miracle pills, probiotics, the benefits and security of side effects, telemedicine and virtual treatments, and what it really means to be "fully vaccinated" against COVID-19.
