PUBLIC HEALTH IS DEAD

If you have a feeling all is not well in the world of disease control,
If your kids are sick of being sick (and their teachers are, too),
If your favourite artists keep cancelling their shows because of a “mystery illness”,
... this podcast is for you!

Working against apathy and denial in public health can be exhausting when global leaders have washed their hands of responsibility for our collective health. If you are sick and tired of bad public health decisions, you’ll like Public Health is Dead.

Disease control data have quite literally been deleted, public health education is radio silent, and old pathogens are waking up with a vengeance. New pandemics are breathing down our necks, driven by climate change and capitalism, while COVID is definitely not over. It might just be getting started with us. This airborne disease continues to leave a trail of damage, disability, and reinfection in its path. We are far from ready for what the future holds.

Our quest on this show? Figure out how to make public health work for us, not against us.

On Public Health is Dead, undaunted public health advocates examine what’s not working in disease control, why it matters so much for you and the people you love, and, most importantly, what we can do about it to survive.

Public health is failing us. And you deserve to know.
