Show Notes

In this compelling episode of Faith in Healthcare, host Dr. Mike Chupp and guest co-host Dr. Amy Givler sit down with Dr. Paul Offit—world-renowned vaccinologist, co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine, and director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. To help us navigate these questions with both clarity and compassion, guest co-host Dr. Amy Givler, a longtime CMDA member, current CMDA Trustee and family physician who has written and spoken extensively on vaccine ethics.

Together, they address pressing issues at the intersection of faith and medicine: vaccine hesitancy, public trust, COVID-19 lessons, misinformation in the church, and how Christian healthcare professionals can navigate these challenging conversations with compassion and clarity.

From personal stories to global perspectives, Dr. Offit offers science-based insights while honoring the role of faith in patient care. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, church leader, or simply seeking truth in a divided culture, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
