Big Picture Science for Mar 10, 2025: Preventable
Two infectious diseases that we’ve been able to prevent for a half-century are re-emerging. One of the most contagious viruses in the world, measles, is spreading in the United States. Anti-vax sentiment has driven vaccination rates down leading to outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico. The U.S. has also seen an uptick in cases of tuberculosis which has reclaimed its position the deadliest infection globally. The author John Green shares how his travels to Sierra Leone inspired his new book about TB. Through the story of a young patient, Henry, he highlights the health inequities that contribute to over a million and a half tuberculosis deaths annually despite the existence of a cure.
Guests:
* Adam Ratner – Pediatric infectious disease doctor in New York City, and author of Booster Shots: The Urgent Lessons of Measles and the Uncertain Future of Children's Health
* John Green – Author of The Fault in Our Stars, The Anthropocene Reviewed, and Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of our Deadliest InfectionDownload podcast at - https://bigpicturescience.org/episodes/preventable

The biological embodiment of #racism expresses itself as race as we see it. #healthinequities

RT @doc_thoughts
One of the challenges to writing and teaching about racism is getting people to understand that what we see is not race. Rather, it's how power via laws (racism) gives meaning to phenotypical features producing what we see as "race."
