He Thought His Wife Was Cheating. The Truth Was Much Weirder. (w/ Ruby Cramer) | Bulwark Daily

Vaccine skepticism and distrust of pharmaceutical companies and Big Ag long predated RFK, Jr. 's 2024 presidential campaign. But the distrust of mainstream medical authority has now grown so deep that the United States can no longer contain the spread of measles. The country’s measles-vaccination rates have dropped below the threshold for herd immunity. Obviously, Trump’s misleading vax ruminations from the Oval Office have not helped the matter. The New Yorker’s Ruby Cramer discusses her reporting on one family’s frightening medical experience after one parent fell down the MAHA rabbit hole. Plus: Democrats should try recapturing health-conscious voters, the overlooked case of an American shot by immigration thugs, and the surprising backstory to Kari Lake becoming ambassador to Jamaica. Ruby Cramer joins Tim Miller.
