This week on The Disinfo Detox, host Nolan Higdon sits down with Wynn Tranfield — STEM Librarian at the University of California, Santa Cruz — to unpack the media frenzy surrounding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement.
From the Trump–Pfizer deal to the politicization of public health, this episode dives into the complex intersections of science, policy, and propaganda. Tranfield brings a researcher’s perspective to viral claims about “Big Pharma,” life expectancy, animal testing, and even Tylenol’s alleged link to autism — separating scientific evidence from political spin.
👉 What does the MAHA movement reveal about America’s growing distrust of science?
👉 How do corporate and government alliances shape the research we see (and don’t see)?
👉 Are bipartisan “wellness” bills really about health — or ideology?
👉 And what’s at stake when public discourse turns scientific debates into culture wars?
If you care about how media, politics, and misinformation collide in the world of health science — this is an episode you can’t miss.
