Any preparations the world health community had in place to combat a global pandemic crumbled as the Covid variants spread. Dr. Scott Gottlieb is a former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration and currently is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what he calls a system-wide failure of government to control Covid-19, and what needs to happen to prepare for the next global health emergency. His book is “Uncontrolled Spread: Why COVID-19 Crushed Us and How We Can Defeat the Next Pandemic.”
