Measles is back, and it’s not because the science changed. Dr. Michael T. Myers Jr. — Harvard-trained physician, former Chief of Pediatrics at Summit Health, and author of the upcoming Vaccine Bible — joins Stacey to unpack the resurgence, the misinformation cycle, and how primary care doctors can have real conversations with vaccine-hesitant families.
With 4,000+ measles cases since January 2025 and herd immunity rates slipping below 95%, this episode is required listening for any pediatrician, family medicine physician, or parent trying to cut through the noise.
Inside this episode:
• Why MMR vaccination rates are dropping — and the real-world consequences
• How to talk to vaccine-hesitant families without losing the room
• Vaccine risk vs. disease risk, explained plainly
• Where to find FDA-approved data on every licensed vaccine
Dr. Myers brings 35+ years in primary care and healthcare leadership, with a writer’s instinct for translating science into plain English. The Vaccine Bible drops July 28th.
