In the mid 2010s “designer jeans” became a topic of conversation not just in the fashion world, but in the world of medical intervention as well. This week on Health Wanted: CRISPR was supposed to be the gene-editing tool to end all disease, so where has it gone? Host Laurel Bristow also talks to Dr. Ben Hurlbut about the ethics of curing disease through CRISPR.

Plus: how do you address inaccurate health information at a party without starting a fight? Do vibration plates actually work? Are adjuvants the reason we saw an increase in peanut allergies? And the ACIP changes the birth dose Hep B vaccine recommendation.

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the show notes.
