In this episode, we discuss:

- The current measles outbreaks and how public health agencies are responding, including changes in the vaccine schedule.
- What the MMR vaccine is and why it's the best way to protect children.
- The impact of fraudulent data that increased vaccine hesitancy and its ongoing effects.
