Ok, I think it's time to share... "Public Health is Dead" is a real podcast I am (slowly) making. This show is a forward-thinking autopsy on how we’ve f*cked up in public health. How do we prepare for inevitable future pandemics while we’re already in the thick of one? /1 Podcast cover art with purple-lined, pink graph paper for the background. There is a purple anatomical skull and the words Public Health is Dead on top And how can we reinvent the systems that place some of us closer to death? Through past successes and failures, often through the lens of COVID, we plot a path out of apathy and denial towards a thriving public health for the people. /2

Today is #TruthAndReconciliationDay and also #InternationalPodcastDay so here are a few Indigenous podcast recommendations to diversify your playlist and listen to Indigenous Peoples on the rest of the days of the year, too 🧵 1. Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's by @connie_walker, an icon who should be a household name at this point. A deeply personal journey into the intergenerational violence of residential "schools" in Canada and tbh the best podcast I have ever listened to pod.link/1554011083

My family has COVID & the health authority told my mom that if her lips turn blue to go to the hospital. She’s Black. Her lips will not turn blue. This is how public health sets us up for poor health outcomes + nudges us towards death by operating with whiteness as the norm.
