Call the shots: vaccine cuts imperil global health

This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers two main topics: the controversy surrounding vaccine skepticism and funding cuts at the CDC under RFK Jr., the health secretary, and the growing popularity of Japanese and South Korean culture in Mexico, contrasting it with the more economically focused influence of China. The discussion on vaccines explores the potential consequences of defunding mRNA vaccine research, while the segment on Mexico examines the cultural impact of Japan and South Korea beyond economic ties.
