No, your doctor isn't getting rich off of vaccines

This NPR Planet Money Indicator podcast episode fact-checks Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claim that doctors profit from administering vaccines. The hosts interview two doctors: a family physician in rural Kansas who explains the financial realities of vaccine provision, including the high costs of purchasing, storing, and administering vaccines, often resulting in break-even or even losses; and a pediatrician who emphasizes the importance of vaccines and expresses concern about the potential negative impact of undermining public trust in vaccines and the resulting increase in vaccine-preventable diseases. The podcast uses the doctors' experiences to counter Kennedy Jr.'s assertion and highlights the potential public health consequences of vaccine hesitancy.
