Summary
We went live to answer one big question: What grade does HHS deserve right now? In this episode, we unpack the damage being done to public health, from vaccine policy chaos and agency brain drain to propaganda-style messaging, food policy confusion, and the deeper social determinants that actually shape health outcomes. It’s a frank, lively conversation about what’s broken, what still deserves partial credit, and why oversimplified answers keep failing the public. If you want science, context, and real talk, this one’s for you.
