Health, Equity + Activism

Song is joined by Gregg Gonsalves, a professor at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale Law School focusing on operations research/epidemiology for infectious disease, who has been an AIDS and global health activist for 30 yrs. Recorded the day after Inauguration Day 2021, we share moments of reflection on the dawn of the new Biden era. We talk Covid-19 vaccine and what it would take to roll it out equitably. And throughout the conversation, we are spurred on to roll up our sleeves stay mobilized because there is much work to be done.  

Side note: if you need any more inspiration, the documentary Gregg referred to on the show - "a riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of activists, many of them in a life-or-death struggle, who seized upon scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease" is a must-see: https://surviveaplague.com/
