That Can't Be True with Chelsea Clinton

Should personal choice come before public health when it comes to vaccinating our children? Does the new food pyramid mean we’re failing as parents if our kids aren’t eating beef tallow and salmon? It's a confusing time for parents and an alarming time for pediatricians. That’s why Chelsea is getting answers from Dr. Mona Amin, who’s been practicing pediatrics for more than 10 years and is the face of PedsDocTalk, a platform that provides resources on child development, health and parenting. She shares her view on delayed vaccine schedules, reacts to the alleged war on protein, and offers valuable insights on whether sleep training is harmful, when to introduce solid foods, and the importance of fingernail cleaning.

To kick off Season 2 of the podcast, and as President Trump begins the second year of his second (and final) term, we're stepping back to take stock of the current moment. Chelsea and historian Heather Cox Richardson, who helps millions of people contextualize the news every day through her widely read newsletter, dig into the erosion of democratic norms in the United States, the politicization of public health, the horrific rise in political violence, and what it means to be a citizen in 2026. Heather has sharp opinions on the violence in Minneapolis, Trump’s mental acuity, and reasons to stay hopeful and engaged.

In a shocking – yet unsurprising – move, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently voted to end universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for newborns. Pediatrician and allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin called it a dark day for our babies and public health. He and Chelsea discuss the very real impacts of this vote, how bad the flu season could get this holiday season, and why allergies are on the rise. Plus, he debunks myths we’ve all fallen for about local honey, vitamin C, and hypoallergenic pets. You can follow Dr. Zachary Rubin @rubin_allergy on Instagram.

The FDA recently announced it will remove the “black box” warning on many hormone replacement therapies for menopause. The warning was initially added after misinterpreted data found an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and possible dementia.
