MTM-Interview with DR. Bob Sears Part Two

Send us Fan Mail

Measles is contagious, emotions run hot, and the talking points fly fast. So we slowed the conversation down and asked a better set of questions with pediatrician Dr. Bob Sears: what does “herd immunity” actually mean across a lifetime, what happens when immunity fades, and why do outbreaks keep showing up even after decades of MMR vaccination campaigns?

We start with the South Carolina measles outbreak and the public claims that tend to follow, especially the idea that unvaccinated kids are the whole story. Dr. Sears walks us through his view of natural immunity versus vaccine induced immunity, why protection may wane in the teenage years and adulthood, and what that shift could mean for newborns who no longer receive strong maternal antibodies. Whether you agree or disagree, you will hear a clear framework for thinking about measles risk, adult transmission, and why “one number” rarely explains a public health event.

Then we get practical. Dr. Sears shares nutritional preparation ideas with a focus on vitamin A, including food sources, cod liver oil, and the high dose vitamin A approach he describes after exposure or infection. We also talk informed consent, the work of Physicians for Informed Consent, and what it looks like when medical boards pressure doctors who challenge vaccine policy. Dr. Sears explains his book One Doctor Versus The Medical Board and what he learned during years of scrutiny.
