Cecily and Rita are finally able to come together in this week’s episode to discuss some big moves in vaccine transparency, homeschool plans for the coming school year, and more thoughts on A.I.

In the last few weeks there have been some really exciting and promising steps in shedding light on the topic of vaccines.

On August 1, 2025 the HHS (Health and Human Services) announced that they would be pulling back on the financial incentives tied to having healthcare workers choose to be vaccinated.

In addition to that, HR4668 was recently proposed. This bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers.

Heading into the 2025/26 homeschool year, we’re talking about what we’re sticking with and what new curriculum we’re giving a try!

And we end the episode touching on a subject we never tire of…A.I. Similarly to vaccines, there are people with financial incentive to see A.I. continue to grow but we’ll share why we’re not worried about a ‘terminator future’.
