MAHA Supporters Talking w Doctors: On the New Vaccine Schedule, On Informed Consent & On Being a Doctor in America Today
Podcast: Why Should I Trust You?Published On: Thu Jan 08 2026
Description: Welcome to Season 2! As the new year gets underway, we’re looking inside America’s exam rooms. We’ve brought together a group of traditional, allopathic doctors across multiple specialties and a group of MAHA supporters. With breaking news about changes to the childhood vaccine schedule and the dietary guidelines, this felt like the right moment to convene an honest conversation between physicians and patients about how the relationship is working.Trust in doctors remains high—but it’s drifting downward. And we know from countless conversations that a negative experience with a doctor—over a diagnosis, treatment plan, or vaccine recommendation—can fuel mistrust in the entire medical system. Why do some patients leave these interactions feeling dismissed, and where do they turn next? What is it actually like to be a doctor in America right now? What financial pressures and systemic constraints are they operating within? How do they view their time with patients? And finally, how might this week’s changes reshape trust, care, and those exam-room conversations?Hosts:Brinda AdhikariTom JohnsonMaggie BartlettDr. Mark AbdelmalekGuests:Nancy Fuller, MAHA supporter, former Kennedy campaign volunteer, from OhioDr. Craig Spencer, ER physician Providence, RI; professor at Brown University School of Public HealthLen Arcuri, MAHA supporter, host of podcast Autism Parenting Secrets Dr. Keisha Callins, OB/GYN Jeffersonville, GA; professor at Mercer University School of MedicineDaniel DeLuca, MAHA supporter, bar and restaurant owner, political consultantDr. Jamie Loehr, family doctor from Ithaca, NY.
