Chelsea Clinton launches podcast aimed at debunking health misinformation

Chelsea Clinton has launched a new podcast she says is based on debunking health misinformation.

"How many of us have looked at the latest headlines and thought 'that can't be true?!' Starting tomorrow, I hope you will join me and a series of experts on my new podcast - That Can't Be True! Together, we will sort fact from fiction - especially on issues impacting our health," she wrote.

The podcast also released two shorter bonus episodes: a six-minute segment on tips for spotting pseudoscience and a 15-minute interview with Welteroth on preventing "pregnancy-related complications" across the U.S.

The show description says, "Things are getting weird in the world of public health. Childhood vaccines are suddenly up for debate, fluoride is being described as industrial waste, and it feels like everyone is talking about raw milk!

"Navigate this chaotic time with public health expert Dr. Chelsea Clinton, who every week talks to doctors, dietitians, parenting experts and more to expose pseudoscience and help us sort fact from fiction."

Clinton's podcast launch comes amid disputes over public health policy and leadership in the United States.

The podcast is widely being viewed as a rebuke of the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement.

MAHA proponent and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has faced scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers in recent weeks over his vaccine skepticism and his overhaul of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Calley Means, a top RFK ally and promoter of wellness alternatives, criticized the podcast on X, saying that Clinton was essentially agreeing with Kennedy's belief that the country is too sick.

"Just listened to Chelsea Clinton's anti-MAHA podcast," he wrote. "The argument of the episode is RFK is right that we're disastrously sick, but it's 'dangerous' to question the status quo."
