    The Prasad Memo and the FDA Meltdown No One's Addressing

    This episode breaks down a moment most people aren't paying close enough attention to: the quiet collapse of leadership and process inside the FDA. Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent walk through the sudden resignation of a widely respected career regulator, the internal turmoil left behind, and a leaked memo claiming child deaths from COVID vaccines—released without public data, peer review, or transparent methodology. Rather than debating vaccines in the abstract, the conversation focuses on something more troubling: what happens when regulatory standards erode, scientific disagreement turns political, and decision-making bypasses established safeguards. With career experts stepping away and unvetted claims driving policy discussions, the episode asks whether the FDA can still function as a credible public health authority—and what the consequences may be if it can't.

    The CDC Is Unrecognizable — And It's Costing Lives

    This episode dives into the unraveling of America's public health infrastructure as political interference reshapes the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Jonathan and Wendy walk through the CDC's new vaccine-autism messaging, the chaos and infighting inside the FDA, cuts to critical NIH trials, and Jay Bhattacharya's controversial "pandemic plan" built on personal responsibility instead of public health action. With outbreaks of measles, pertussis, and flu rising, they explore how misinformation, censorship, and agency dysfunction are putting the country at risk.

    FDA in Crisis: V. Prasad, Scandals & the Collapse of Vaccine Regulation

    This episode dives deep into the escalating chaos inside the FDA as leaders, scientists, and biotech insiders publicly revolt against the agency's current direction. Hosts Jonathan and Wendy break down the explosive STAT News investigations revealing mass resignations, internal fear, political interference, and allegations of mismanagement under V. Prasad's leadership. The episode unpacks the controversial rejection of a promising Huntington's disease gene therapy, accusations of shifting scientific standards, and the quiet but aggressive attempt by FDA officials — including Tracy Beth Høeg — to restrict access to COVID vaccines for young men. From vaccine policy upheavals to political pressure from the RFK Jr. administration, this conversation exposes the "soap opera" unraveling inside the nation's most important medical regulatory body — and what the turmoil could mean for patients, public trust, and the future of science in America.

    Trump-Based Medicine: How Science Lost Its Soul

    In this gripping Halloween episode marking the second anniversary of We Want Them Infected, hosts Dr. Jonathan Howard and Dr. Wendy Orange confront the chilling reality of America under "Trump II." They dissect the collapse of public health, the weaponization of medicine, and the transformation of science into "Trump-Based Medicine"—a term Jonathan coins to describe physicians parroting political dogma over data.   The duo highlights interviews and statements by Vinay Prasad, Marty Makary, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff, who now echo President Trump's pseudoscientific vaccine directives—like splitting the MMR shot and delaying Hepatitis B vaccines. They warn that this alignment with anti-vaccine figures such as RFK Jr. and Andrew Wakefield marks a dangerous regression that could undo decades of medical progress.   They also expose turmoil within the FDA, where Prasad's leadership has allegedly created a culture of fear, and discuss the growing exodus of scientists from federal health agencies. From declining measles vaccination rates to government loyalty tests, Howard and Orange paint a harrowing portrait of a nation sliding into scientific authoritarianism.   The episode closes with their sobering realization: despite years of warning, even they underestimated how dark things could get.         Connect with us further on https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/author/jonathanhoward/  The Fine Print The content presented in the "We Want Them Infected" Podcast and associated book is intended for informational and educational purposes only.    The views and opinions expressed by the speakers, hosts, and guests on the podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the creators, producers, or distributors.

    The Dog Who Caught the Car: Jay Bhattacharya and the Chaos at NIH

    In this explosive episode, Jonathan and Wendy mark their podcast's second anniversary with a scathing review of the current state of U.S. public health and politics. They unpack the implosion of the lab leak movement, the chaos at the NIH under Jay Bhattacharya's leadership, and the bizarre alignment of former "anti-establishment" scientists with political power. From RFK Jr.'s firings at the NIH and CDC to Trump's latest "pro-science" rebrand, the hosts expose how disinformation, ego, and incompetence have reshaped American medicine—and why legacy media, now led by figures like Barry Weiss, keeps amplifying the madness.

    Tylenol, Autism, and the New War on Public Health

    In this face-to-face episode, Jonathan and Wendy dive into the growing chaos surrounding U.S. public health. They highlight CDC whistleblower Dr. Susan Menez's powerful testimony on integrity, contrast it with the dysfunction of the new ACIP panel under RFK Jr., and dissect Trump's Tylenol-and-autism press conference that resurrects discredited Andrew Wakefield talking points. From quack autism "cures" to political appointees fumbling vaccine policy, the discussion traces how anti-vaccine disinformation moved from fringe rhetoric to federal power—leaving states, insurers, and medical groups scrambling to fill the leadership vacuum.

    NEWSMAX with Bhattacharya: Incentives, Incidental COVID, and the Numbers Game

    Dr. Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent open with the media's response to the Charlie Kirk murder, then trace a straight line back to early-pandemic narratives that normalized doubt and minimized harm. They dissect John Ioannidis' April 2020 claims (low IFR, asymptomatic majority, "they would've died anyway"), show how those talking points seeded Great Barrington-style "protect the vulnerable" rhetoric, and examine how today's figures—Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, and RFK Jr.—reuse those frames to attack CDC leadership and rewrite history. The episode closes on the emotional toll of being dismissed in real time while morgues overflowed, and why remembering who amplified whom still matters.
