We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found through “improving” nature. On the contrary, “life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed,” as Dr. Price put it. We thrive when we live as our ancestors did, and we can look to the past for clues on how to go about it. This show, sponsored by the Weston A. Price Foundation, is an invitation to follow ancient health ways and to embrace alternative healing modalities to live our best lives. Our host, Hilda Labrada Gore, known as Holistic Hilda, interviews experts on a wide variety of topics—ranging from nutrient-dense foods to improving mental health to homesteading to detoxing to healing emotional trauma to the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Every episode offers the listener a new (ancient) way to heal, grow, and live a happy life, brimming with vitality.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T20:18:11.149134+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-7013628"},"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-7013628/584-the-religion-of-vaccines-with-aaron-siri","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wise-traditions-7013628","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/584-the-religion-of-vaccines-with-aaron-siri--72630002","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72630002/audio_final_wt_584_aaron_siri.mp3","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.
