In the second episode of Meidas Health, Dr. Vin Gupta delivers a blistering, no-holds-barred interview with former FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf, warning viewers about the catastrophic consequences of Donald Trump’s extremist health agenda.
For those who may not have heard, Meidas Health is a groundbreaking new series on the MeidasTouch Network hosted by renowned physician, public health expert, and MSNBC contributor Dr. Vin Gupta. The series shines a spotlight on the public health threats posed by Donald Trump and his extremist allies. Because now more than ever, facts and expertise matter.
From gutting federal agencies to empowering conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr., Episode 2 pulls back the curtain on how Trump and his cronies are actively dismantling the very systems designed to keep Americans safe and healthy.
Dr. Califf, who served as FDA Commissioner under both President Obama and President Biden, recounts the shocking purge of 3,500 FDA employees—many with decades of institutional knowledge—carried out with no regard for continuity or public safety. Entire departments overseeing drug safety, food inspections, and vaccine approvals have been decimated, leaving gaping holes in America's health defense systems.
As Dr. Gupta and Dr. Califf explain, these aren’t abstract policy debates. They’re about whether the next life-saving treatment for Alzheimer’s or cancer ever gets developed, whether you can trust the safety of your food and medication, and whether your kids are protected from preventable diseases like measles. Spoiler: If Trump and his anti-science gang have their way, the answer is no.
The episode is also a dire warning about the brain drain already underway, as top scientists flee a hostile environment that now punishes truth-telling and rewards pseudoscience. Dr. Califf notes that even long-serving vaccine experts like Dr. Peter Marks have resigned in protest—after being pressured by RFK Jr.’s team to invent links between vaccines and autism.
If you care about the future of medicine, innovation, and your family’s health, this is essential viewing. Trump’s Project 2025 health agenda isn’t just political—it’s a public health nightmare in the making.
