Roots of Anti-Vaccine Influence

Secretary of State Marco Rubio addresses the Munich Security Conference, calling Europe to a “new Western century.” The New York Times reports 57 cases of measles at a Catholic college in Florida and 50 students quarantined at a SBC-affiliated university in South Carolina due to a separate outbreak. And, NBC host Savannah Guthrie pleads for her mother’s release two weeks after she went missing. Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and then Mike talks with The Atlantic’s Thomas Chatterton Williams about race and identity since George Floyd’s murder in 2020.
