AGAINST THE WIND WITH DR. PAUL - EPISODE 079 Featuring: Dr. Paul Thomas, Retired Pediatrician, ATW Host, Author, Kids First 4Ever, and Informed Consent Champion; Bernadette Pajer, Public Policy Director of Informed Choice WA

In his From the Heart segment, Dr. Paul shares how grateful he is for all his supporters and the words of encouragement he continues to receive from people. This support has given him the steadfast love, courage and hope he has needed to stay the course in these difficult times. He reassures us that he is never giving up – we are all in this together and are being called to do something magnificent!
​
Next, Dr. Paul addresses the “tripledemic” (flu, RSV & Covid) we are currently experiencing. What do we need to look for and when should we see a doctor? And if they do a (RSV) vaccine, does my child need to get it? Dr. Paul answers all these questions and more, explaining the science behind why the shot is not a good idea. When you are prepared, you don’t need to be fearful!
 
In closing, Bernadette Pajer of Informed Choice WA talks to us about the mindset of people in public health. A hint: It’s about determining what can be controlled, what can be put into policy and what can be funded. Tune in to learn more!
