Ep51 What We Can Learn from the Covid-19 Pandemic with Dr. Vinay Prasad

Dr. Bob sat down recently with the renowned Dr. Vinay Prasad, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF and an expert in hematology oncology to look back on the policies of the last several years. Dr. Prasad, who has authored over 400 peer-reviewed papers and two influential books, unpacks the COVID-19 pandemic, the government's response, mask mandates, and the loss of public faith in the government and medical establishment.
Dr. Prasad criticizes the misleading messaging and overconfidence of scientists during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of considering trade-offs and providing accurate information. He questions the effectiveness of mask mandates and highlights the need for evidence-based decision-making.  Dr. Prasad also shares his insights on the power of executive orders, and the role of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in medical education and its implications for healthcare.
