Venezuela’s ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. While support for the U.S. operation that led to Maduro’s capture appears to fall largely along party lines, there is broad agreement that the imprisoned dictator’s regime was brutal. United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath spent two years as one of Maduro’s political prisoners and experienced that cruelty firsthand. Heath recounts how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government, the torture he endured, and what he hopes lies ahead for the country following Maduro’s capture.
The CDC is recommending a new, scaled-back childhood vaccine schedule, no longer broadly advising vaccines for protection against rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, certain forms of meningitis, or RSV. The Trump administration says the change will not prevent families who want the vaccines from accessing them, and that insurance coverage will remain in place. Critics, however, warn the move could create confusion for parents and potentially lead to an increase in preventable diseases. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain why he believes it’s important to take a fresh look at vaccines—while still emphasizing the need to educate the public about their benefits.
