Political Rewind: The Politicization Of Public Health
Friday on Political Rewind: The CDC has been the gold standard of global public health organizations for many decades. But recent efforts to marginalize and undermine such trusted public health agencies \u2013 including the FDA \u2013 are complicating the COVID-19 response. How does this affect Americans' perceptions and the country's ability to combat coronavirus, particularly when a vaccine does become available? We discuss the politicization of a pandemic.\n\nOur panel includes: Dr. James Curran, dean of the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University; Dr. Keren Landman, physician, epidemiologist and public health journalist; and Jim Galloway, lead political writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
