About this episode
The COVID pandemic overwhelmed our health care system and killed well over a million Americans. Fast-tracked vaccines saved millions, but missteps in the response and misinformation online have damaged trust. Horizons moderator William Brangham explores the state of America's public health system and whether it's prepared for the next pandemic with Dr. Josh Sharfstein and Elizabeth Cameron.
