CDC Reckoning

The topic of this week's discussion is CDC Reckoning. Our esteemed experts are Dr. Brian Hooker, Dr. Simon Goddek, and Dr. Raphael Lataster. Trust in public health agencies has deteriorated dramatically in recent years with many believing that the original purpose of these institutions has been inverted. Senator Ron Johnson organized a historic senate hearing titled, "The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: how Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with the COVID-19 Vaccies"on May 21, 2025. Here we speak to some of the referenced scientists.

Dr. Brian Hooker is the Chief Scientific Officer at Children's Health Defense. He is also an educator, and passionate advocate for transparency in public health. With a PhD in chemical engineering and decades of experience in biological research, Dr. Hooker has dedicated much of his career to asking the tough questions about vaccine policy and safety—questions that many in the mainstream have been reluctant to address.

He’s perhaps best known for his groundbreaking work analyzing vaccine safety data and for his role as co-author, alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of the bestselling book Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak.

Dr. Simon Goddek is a scientist and author with a PhD in biotechnology and systems thinking, previously known for his expertise in integrated food production systems. He has published extensively on topics such as system dynamics, metabolism, vitamin D, and sustainable agriculture, but Dr. Goddek became a prominent commentator on health and nutrition during the COVID-19 era. His outspoken views on COVID policies and scientific censorship led to professional and personal repercussions, including losing his academic position and facing social media bans.

Dr. Raphael Lataster is an Australian academic, author, and lecturer who holds a PhD from the University of Sydney. His primary research interests include misinformation, disinformation, and fake news—particularly in the contexts of health, politics, and religion, with a recent focus on COVID-19. Lataster has an interdisciplinary background, holding a Bachelor of Pharmacy, a Master of Applied Finance, and several postgraduate research degrees.
