In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, physician-turned-filmmaker and one of the most controversial voices in modern medicine. From his early days as a gastroenterologist in the UK to becoming an outspoken critic of vaccine policy, Andy shares the story of how listening to parents and pursuing uncomfortable questions about children’s health ultimately cost him his profession, country, and medical license. Andy and I discuss the rise in autism diagnoses, the explosion of the vaccine schedule, and the erosion of public trust in health authorities—alongside the role of media, censorship, and film in shaping public awareness.
Whether you agree with him or not, Andy’s perspective challenges us to confront uncomfortable questions about integrity, power, and responsibility in medicine. It’s a conversation about courage, conviction, and what it takes to speak out when the stakes are at their highest.
