In this episode, host Steven Newmark breaks down four critical public health stories making headlines:
- Senators Angus King and Elizabeth Warren introduce a resolution to defend the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force amid reports that RFK Jr. may fire its members.
- What’s really at stake if the Task Force is dismantled—and how evidence-based guidelines are already saving lives, from colon cancer screenings to heart health.
- A deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in Harlem has claimed two lives and sickened dozens. What you need to know if you live in the area.
- The alarming defunding of mRNA vaccine research.
Science, policy, and prevention—all in one sharp, timely episode.
