In this episode I got to talk with Dr. Myers about the importance of vaccines. We talked about the current resurgence of Measles.
DR. MICHAEL T. MYERS JR., MD is a Harvard-trained physician and former Chief of Primary Care and Chief of Pediatrics for Summit Health New Jersey. He is the author of the book THE VACCINE BIBLE: A Comprehensive, Commonsense Guide to What Keeps Us Safe from the Flu, Measles, Hepatitis, and More, a plain-English guide that explains how vaccines are developed, tested, scheduled, and used in real-world clinical care, published in late July.
Dr. Myers approaches this moment as a clinician focused on decision-making under uncertainty. He breaks down how immunity actually works, how to verify protection by age, and what happens during the measles incubation period, which can delay symptoms while still allowing the virus to spread. He also explains how risk is measured in medicine, defining concepts like relative versus absolute risk in practical terms so families can make informed choices without relying on conflicting or incomplete information.
