In this rerun episode we discuss Dr. Susan Moore’s tragic battle with COVID-19. She was a Black doctor who took to social media to expose a hospital's racially biased treatment she received as a patient. And we highlight Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, an immunologist who was one of the scientists who helped develop the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19.
