Episode: Can You Get a COVID Vaccine?
Description: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tenure as HHS Secretary has meant turmoil for the CDC: thousands of employees have either been let go, or are unclear on their employment status; leadership has been stepping down; and there was a shooting at their Atlanta building in August. The result is RFK being yelled at in the Senate, thousands of CDC employees calling for his resignation, and a country less prepared for the next pandemic.Â
Guest: Apoorva Mandavilli, science and global health reporter at the New York Times.Â
