396 / Long Covid Is Changing an Entire Generation / Eli Cahan

Investigative journalist and pediatrician Eli Cahan joined me to discuss the magnitude of the long Covid crisis in the youth population of the United States, addressed in his October Rolling Stone piece, Long Covid Is Real—And It’s Changing an Entire Generation. Eli Cahan takes the time to speak to his dual position as a pediatrician and investigative journalist and how they intersect. He takes us through the struggles many families are dealing with, the human-level hardships that are unique to each child and their families, indicative of a much wider and pervasive long Covid crisis. This kind of journalism is as humanizing as it is deeply informed—a call to action against a generational injustice that will continue to cascade unless we improve the conditions not just for long Covid sufferers, but for everyone. We are all vulnerable to this pandemic. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/eli-cahan // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
