Where medical meets conversation and we discuss stories, news, evidence based practice, true crime, and more.
Under The Scrubs
No Microchip, Just Science
In this episode, we dive into everything you think you know about vaccines — and what the science actually says. From debunking the most common vaccine myths to breaking down the different types of vaccines (mRNA, live attenuated, inactivated, and more), we're setting the record straight. We also take a closer look at the infamous (and thoroughly debunked) study that falsely linked vaccines to autism — a study that sparked decades of misinformation and vaccine hesitancy.
If you've ever wondered how vaccines work, why they’re safe, or what really happened with that controversial autism study, this episode is for you. Tune in to get facts, not fear — and a little bit of snark — about one of medicine's greatest achievements.
