Artificial intelligence can now analyse medical data at a scale no human ever could.

From scans and ECGs to early warning scores and triage systems, AI is becoming a powerfultool in modern healthcare.

But seeing more doesn’t always mean understanding more.

In this episode of The Modern Physician, Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod explores where AI genuinely helps in medicine and where human judgement still matters most.

This episode isn’t about rejecting AI.It’s about understanding its place — as an instrument, not an authority.

Vaccines are among the most studied and monitored tools in modern medicine — and yet they remain surrounded by fear, uncertainty, and powerful stories.

In this episode of The Modern Physician, Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod takes a step back from debate and myth-busting to look at something deeper: why vaccine myths form in the first place.

Rather than arguing or correcting, this episode gently explores the human patterns behind common vaccine concerns, including:

• Fear of causing harm
• Worries about immune overload
• The appeal of “natural” immunity
• Concerns about ingredients and safety
• Misunderstandings around mRNA and DNA
• The idea that hygiene alone replaced vaccines
• How herd immunity actually works — and why it depends on participation

This is not an episode about winning arguments.
It’s about understanding fear, uncertainty, and how stories can feel safer than complexity when the stakes are high.

If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or conflicted about vaccines — or if you’re trying to understand where others are coming from — this episode offers a calmer way to think about it.

mRNA vaccines became the centre of global fear during the pandemic — but most of that fear came from misunderstanding, not from the science itself.

In this episode of The Modern Physician, Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod breaks down the truth with calm clarity:

• What mRNA actually is
• Why it cannot change your DNA
• Why fear during the pandemic made sense
• The decades of research behind mRNA platforms
• Why the technology was ready before COVID
• How mRNA disappears from the body within hours
• What global safety data really shows
• And how mRNA will shape the future of vaccines and personalised medicine

Happy Holidays From the Team of The Modern Physician and we will see you on January 12, 2026 with the next episode!
