Episode notes

Public health needs to understand that politicians are thinking around a broader array of issues. We also need to figure out how to teach the public to exist in a world where information is so easily available, and how to find their way through it. I don't think you can turn off that spicket. And the question is inherently at our roots. How are we going to move forward as a country? It's more broadly about all the data that's available.

Former CDC Director Nancy Messonnier and former White House Covid-19 adviser Andy Slavitt join Sean at Code Conference in Los Angeles to explain the back and forth on vaccine booster shots.

Today’s show was produced and hosted by Sean Rameswaram, with help from Dylan Scott and Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro and fact-checked by Laura Bullard.
