S1E10 / Dr. Tony Fauci: From One Pandemic to Another / Mark Harrington and Peter Staley
EPIDEMIC with Dr. Celine Gounder and Ronald Klain
“Infectious diseases, whether that's HIV or coronavirus, often fall most heavily on the shoulders of the most marginalized, the least powerful, the poorest communities…These diseases magnify longstanding social and economic inequities.

And in that calculation, it's clear that some lives are deemed more valuable than others.” --Co-host, Dr. Celine Gounder In today’s episode, Dr. Celine Gounder speaks with Mark Harrington and Peter Staley, HIV/AIDS activists, members of ACT UP and founders of the Treatment Action Group. They’ll discuss health disparities magnified by infectious disease, the parallels between the AIDS pandemic and the COVID-19 pandemic today, and the constant through it all-- Dr. Tony Fauci.
