MAGA declared war on science. People died. And the body count is still growing.In this conversation, Pat Kahnke sits down with Rebecca Watson — science communicator, founder of Skepchick, and one of the most recognizable voices in the skeptic community — to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
What they find is damning.
Elon Musk's DOGE cuts gutted the U.S. Ebola response. RFK Jr. is dismantling the vaccine infrastructure that protects American children. The Trump administration buried studies showing COVID vaccines are safe and effective. And the same network of powerful men that tried to silence Rebecca Watson — the network that forwarded her emails to Jeffrey Epstein — is now running the Department of Health and Human Services.
This isn't a conspiracy theory. This is the fruit test applied to public health policy.
Topics covered:
— RFK Jr., vaccines, and the deliberate spread of misinformation
— How Elon Musk's cuts crippled global Ebola surveillance
— The Andrew Wakefield fraud and its decades-long body count
— Why the Congolese distrust of medical teams has a real historical basis
— How the same men who protected Jeffrey Epstein are shaping U.S. health policy
— The "baloney detection kit" — how to think clearly in a fire hose of misinformation
— What the shingles vaccine unexpectedly revealed about dementia risk
— Why compassion, not condemnation, is the right response to vaccine hesitancyRebecca Watson was blacklisted, threatened, and named in Epstein's files — not for wrongdoing, but for telling the truth about powerful men. That's the fruit test. And it's the same test MAGA's anti-science agenda is failing right now.Whether you're a Christian, an agnostic, or somewhere in between — the evidence doesn't care what you believe. It only counts what you do.🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell — this channel exists to help people think clearly in a chaotic world.
