Price Foundation","episode_count":591,"summary":"The Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health grounded in traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found by \"improving\" nature. On the contrary, \"Life in all its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed,\" as Dr. Weston A. Price observed. By learning from healthy societies of the past, we can rediscover how to live healthier lives today. The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to explore traditional food and healthways that support true vitality. Host and producer Kendall Nelson interviews leading experts on a wide range of topics—ranging from preparing traditional foods, nutrient-dense diets, organ meats and animal fats to grass-based farming, natural detoxification, the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Each episode offers listeners practical insights and timeless wisdom to help them heal, grow and live more vibrant, fulfilling lives.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T20:21:13.578857+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956"},"episode":{"title":"584: The Religion Of Vaccines With Aaron Siri","slug":"584-the-religion-of-vaccines-with-aaron-siri","published_at":"2026-06-22T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956/584-the-religion-of-vaccines-with-aaron-siri","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-581956","url":"https://www.westonaprice.org/podcast/the-religion-of-vaccines-with-aaron-siri","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisetraditions/Audio_-_FINAL_-_WT_584_Aaron_Siri.mp3?dest-id=323969","summary":"In this episode, Aaron Siri discusses why he believes vaccines have become more than a medical issue—they've become a kind of modern religion. Drawing from themes in his book, Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines, Aaron explores how belief, institutional authority, and pharmaceutical influence have shaped vaccine policy and public perception. He explains the powerful role a small group of vaccinologists has played in shaping vaccine science, education, and government recommendations, and discusses what he uncovered while reviewing FDA clinical trial documents and deposing some of the most influential figures in vaccinology. The conversation also examines the lack of placebo-controlled trials for routine childhood vaccines, the liability protections granted to pharmaceutical companies under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, the challenges surrounding informed consent, and the broader question of medical liberty in modern society. Along the way, Aaron shares why he believes people should think more critically about environmental exposures of all kinds—not just vaccines—and why asking difficult questions remains essential when it comes to protecting long-term health.
