A discussion of mRNA vaccines and America’s public health establishment with UCSF’s Vinay Prasad.

“Trust is justified based on how an organization or system performs,” writes Vinay Prasad, a hematologist-oncologist and associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. “And the truth is, the entire public health apparatus, failed.”

Join Prasad and Reason’s Nick Gillespie and Zach Weissmueller for the YouTube premiere of a discussion of America’s public health system, mask policies, vaccine and booster mandates, and the ongoing threat that the federal and state governments’ expansive use of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic poses to Americans’ civil liberties this Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern.
