Why Focused Protection to COVID-19 will save lives long term. An interview with Dr. Martin Kulldorff.: Lindsey discusses with Dr. Martin Kulldorff how to adequately protect those at high risk for Coronavirus, while balancing the great number of people who are at low risk for infection and death, who want to be going about their daily lives. Dr. Kulldorff is a professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research centers around early detection and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks, and post-marketing surveillance of drug and vaccine safety. He along with two other doctors are authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, in which they express grave concerns about damaging physical and mental impacts of COVID-19 policies, such as lockdowns. The Great Barrington Declaration has been signed by over 660,000 concerned citizens and medical practitioners.

Why Americans Are Dying So Young with Anne Case and Angus Deaton: Life expectancy in the U.S. has been on the decline, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the COVID-19 pandemic killed more than 1 million people in America, 2014-2015 was actually an inflection point for mortality rates. What went wrong and what’s behind the downward trend? Our guests this week point out that drug overdoses, suicides and alcoholism have fueled an increase in what they term ‘deaths of despair.’ Anne Case is the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, Emeritus at the Princeton University School of Public and International Affairs. Angus Deaton is a Nobel Prize Winner and Senior Scholar and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of Economics and International Affairs Emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the Economics Department.
