À propos de ce contenu audio

This is a piece from the "pandemic-is-over-bro-just-trust-us" hall of fame. Daniella & MJ (host of "Everything is Public Health") deconstruct TIME magazine's "The COVID-19 Pandemic Will Be Over When Americans Think It Is" from January 2023. This one has it all, folks. There's mansplaining, risk assessments without assessing risks, ignoring Long COVID, a fundamental misconstruction of what public health does, and an underlying please, won't somebody think of the shareholders?!

Pandemics are inconvenient for business as usual, so there was—and continues to be—a push from those who benefit from business as usual to convince us all that mitigating COVID is impossible. The author tries to convince the reader that returning to the status quo is the right and only thing to do.

The other piece referenced near the end of this episode is: Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting by Julio Vincent Gambuto (2020).
