Tone and Political Framing of the Memo

This episode breaks down a moment most people aren't paying close enough attention to: the quiet collapse of leadership and process inside the FDA. Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent walk through the sudden resignation of a widely respected career regulator, the internal turmoil left behind, and a leaked memo claiming child deaths from COVID vaccines—released without public data, peer review, or transparent methodology.

Rather than debating vaccines in the abstract, the conversation focuses on something more troubling: what happens when regulatory standards erode, scientific disagreement turns political, and decision-making bypasses established safeguards. With career experts stepping away and unvetted claims driving policy discussions, the episode asks whether the FDA can still function as a credible public health authority—and what the consequences may be if it can't.
