Join Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Michael Koren as they discuss the public health events that have punctuated Dr. Fauci's life. The doctors discuss the difficulties of the HIV epidemic in the 1980's and how Dr. Fauci's early career decision to pursue this emerging threat helped inform and prepare him for the COVID-19 pandemic. Doctors Koren and Fauci wade through the myriad controversies surrounding the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic; from its origins, the importance of vaccines, and the balance of public health and individual rights. Finally, the two speak about the difficulty of public health communication during an evolving situation and the importance of high-quality data from sources like clinical trials.
Koren's Key Takeaways:

• Scientific integrity and the credible medical information are critical to public health
• Previous healthcare crises can help inform current and future ones
• Balancing personal rights and public health mandates is a challenge
