Ken McCarthy returns to the podcast to tackle a subject that affects every American: the quiet collapse of modern medicine. In this episode, we dive into Ken's new book, Diabolical Errors: The Strange and Unsettling History of Vaccine Science, a deeply researched examination of how the U.S. healthcare system reached its current breaking point.  Why is the country now marked by chronic disease epidemics, shrinking doctor–patient time, worsening maternal and infant outcomes, and an ever-expanding reliance on pharmaceutical interventions? Ken joins us to explain… Ken challenges the long-held assumption that mass medical mandates are grounded in clear, settled science. Instead, he argues that institutional authority has increasingly replaced genuine scientific inquiry, leaving patients with fewer choices, worse outcomes, and little room to ask fundamental questions. In this conversation, we explore: What history tells us about the current state of the medical system. How the American medical system became so expensive, bureaucratic, and ineffective. Why chronic and metabolic diseases are exploding despite advanced care. How fear, incentives, and coercion shape medical policy. Whether there is a realistic path forward for patients and practitioners alike. Drawing on decades of experience as an Internet pioneer, researcher, and systems thinker, Ken connects the dots between information control, institutional corruption, and the erosion of medical trust.
