Maggie and her guest, Professor Howard Schweber, dissect the Trump administration's alarming impact on public policy and science. This hour highlights the CDC's vaccine panel debacle, where anecdotes were mistaken for data, and Trump's baseless claim linking Tylenol to autism. They discuss the broader implications of these actions, including the erosion of expertise and the politicization of independent agencies. There is an urgent need for reliable information amidst a government seemingly allergic to facts, stressing the long-term challenges of rebuilding trust and competence in public institutions. As the MAGA regime undermines objective analysis, the stakes are dangerously high.
