About the Episode
Five years ago, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. That launched widespread shutdowns, mandates for masks and vaccines and caused enormous social and economic harms. William Brangham spoke with the authors of "In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us," a new book that’s sharply critical of how America responded to this crisis.
