Dr. Nikki Romanik: RFK Jr., Vaccine Misinformation, and the Consequences for Public Health
As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reverses his stance on COVID-19 vaccines for children and pregnant women, the stakes of vaccine misinformation have never felt higher. In this episode of the Scientista Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Nikki Romanik — former Chief of Staff & Deputy Director of the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy — to unpack the consequences of politicized public health messaging.
Dr. Romanik shares what it was like working at the highest levels of government during the pandemic, addresses the enduring myth of a link between vaccines and autism, and explains what it will take to rebuild public trust in science. If you’ve been wondering how we got here, and what comes next, this conversation is essential listening.
