Episode description

The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't just upended our sense of "normal" -- it has laid bare so much about our health care, infrastructure, politics, and culture, and the deep inequities built into all of these. But, as people working in public health -- and those living these issues every day -- know all too well, none of this is new.  

 

In Chelsea Clinton's new podcast she sits down with everyone from Jane Fonda to Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to Jonathan Van Ness, and more to talk about how public health affects their lives and ours.

Speaker 1

Hi, I'm Chelsea Clinton. What do vaccines, stigma, climate change in sex have in common? They're all connected to our public health, and with more people paying attention to public health than ever before, I'm excited to share my new podcast In Fact with Chelsea Clinton. One thing that's become very clear during COVID nineteen is that we need the expertise and experience of both experts and activists to understand how we got into this crisis and what it will

take to get out of it. The pandemic has made inescapable so much about the inequities that exist in our country, our healthcare, our infrastructure, and our culture. Gives people working in public health and living these issues every day know all too well. None of this is new, So I'm going to dig into what other topics in public health like HIV, AIDS, addiction, and reproductive rights can teach us

about the moment we're living through right now. Each week on In Fact, I'll sit down with experts, activists, and a few surprise guests who share my passion for science at it ince and Yes Facts. We'll hear from Queer Eyes Jonathan van Ness about how damaging stigma can be the day that I found out I was positive in the state of Missouri, I had to sign a piece of paper that said that I was a bio terrorist

if I ever knowingly spread the disease. I'll be talking with Dr Ony Blackstock, who's taking on issues of health equity in New York City and beyond trust. I can't even say it's been eroded. It just didn't exist. That people feel so concerned about what is really a public health intervention that we know is safe and efficacious and has been tested, that people are willing to take the chance and not get it, and that really speaks to the way that black people and other people of color

have been treated. And we'll get pep talks from people including Jane Fonda, who are fighting for what they believe in, even when it's hard. Any two year old Jane Fonda's out there getting arrested. Maybe I can do that. So join me. Listen to In Fact with me Chelsea Clinton starting April thirteenth on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
