The Vaccine Debate

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Jana was inspired by two girlfriends to discuss the topic of vaccines and how they affect our children.


They’re joined by Robert F Kennedy Jr, an environmental lawyer and activist, author and as of 2020, most notably a vocal anti-vaccinationist. 


To give the medical doctor’s perspective, Jana and Mike talk to Dr. Abe Malkin M.D. M.B.A., who is board certified in Family Medicine and Addiction Medicine. He is the Medical Director for an in-home substance use detox service in California and an active member of the American Board of family medicine. 


Jana and Mike evaluate the two different points of view and hope to help parents make the right vaccination decision for their children.
