Description

On this week’s bonus episode, Miles and guest host Dr. Kristin Lyerly sit down with KFF’s Liz Hamel, one of the country’s leading experts on health polling, to unpack new data on trust, misinformation, and public health.

Together, they discuss what Americans believe about vaccines, the CDC, and the controversial “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Liz explains how KFF tracks health attitudes across party lines, why trust in public institutions is falling, and what can be done to rebuild confidence in science.
