Ethan Lindenberger never got vaccinated as a kid. So one day, he went on Reddit and asked a simple question: "Where do I go to get vaccinated?" The post went viral, landing Lindenberger in the middle of a heated debate about vaccination and, ultimately, in front of a US Senate committee. Less than a year later, the high school senior reports back on his unexpected time in the spotlight and a new movement he's leading to fight misinformation and advocate for scientific truth. After the talk, Shoshana interviews Dr. Jennifer Reich, a sociologist, and asks the question, “Where has vaccine mistrust come from?” -- and how transparency in clinical trials and federal advisory boards are key in gaining community trust.

  • Hey, I'm Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, the host of TED Health, another podcast from TED.

  • In today's media landscape, it can be challenging to distinguish fact from fiction,

  • especially when it comes to healthcare.

  • On TED Health, we're doing a three-part series debunking the stickiest,

  • most popular medical myths.

  • So in place of your typical how to be a better human episode,

  • Today, you'll hear our first episode of this series,

  • where I'll look at how vaccines protect us from diseases and how our body responds differently to each ailment.

  • If you enjoy the episode, check out the rest of the series on TED Health,

  • published every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Now, on to the episode.

  • This is TED Health, a podcast from TED, and I'm your host, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider.

  • especially when it's personal, isn't easy.

  • But in a world where misinformation about health spreads fast and loud,

  • choosing to use your voice can be a powerful act of courage.

  • Today, we're kicking off a special miniseries on vaccines.

  • And in a time when misinformation spreads quicker than facts,

  • understanding vaccines has never been more critical to our personal and public health.

  • This miniseries explores how trust in science is built and how it's broken.

  • through real stories, expert insights, and what we can all do to stay informed.
