Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn 139: Vaccines, Chronic Disease & the Data No One Wants us to See with Del Bigtree
In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Del Bigtree for a conversation that pushes straight into one of the most uncomfortable questions in modern medicine: what if some of the things we have been taught to never question were never fully questioned to begin with?
Together, they explore vaccines, informed consent, chronic disease, media influence, hospital incentives, and why so many people are starting to feel like the system was built to protect itself, not patients. This is not a light conversation, but it is a gripping one. If you have ever felt like the story you were given about health was incomplete, this episode will give language to that feeling and challenge you to think far more deeply about who decides what counts as truth.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so many people are losing trust in the medical system
- What informed consent should look like and why it matters
- How certain ideas in medicine become protected from scrutiny
- Why chronic disease is forcing bigger questions about what is making us sick
- How money, power, and institutional pressure shape medical decision making
- Why questioning the standard of care can come at a cost
- What is really at stake when patients are discouraged from asking questions
- Why this conversation matters even if you have never questioned the system before
