Host Delan Devakumar is joined by Kevin Fenton (Public Health Director for London, UK), Ayoade Alakija (Chair of the African Vaccine Delivery Alliance), and Kumanan Rasanathan (Executive Director, Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research) to explore COVID-19 and racism by unpacking key themes of power and influence. Drawing from their experiences in public health practice and global health policy, they discuss how racism stratifies power across the community and structural levels, and why communities of colour bore the brunt of the pandemic. How do policies informing preparedness and resource distribution reinforce these differences?
