Nice interview. Another area that requires improvement is the teaching of public health to future physicians in medical schools. Knowledgeable practicing physicians can impart the importance of public health initiatives to the public and less informed physicians may unintentionally add to confusion and harmful effects.

Good point "lot of times it's just because there's a paucity of trusted information."

Because my friends and family know that I have expertise in Virology (I helped put five antiviral drugs on the market), I get LOTS of private messages asking about stuff their friends and relatives post. To which I give science-based answers.

What do people who don't happen to know somebody with relevant expertise do?

Hi Dr. Faust, Thank you for this interview. Dr. Ranney’s comments are always insightful. I am wondering: have you had the interview with Dr. Jha yet? I haven’t seen an inside medicine e-mail about it and I want to be sure not to miss it. Thank you for your good work.

I have followed both of you for the past 3 years and have great respect for both of you and your work.

I was looking forward to reading this interview, but was immediately dismayed and disappointed when you said “post Covid” 😥

People are still being infected with Covid every day

Some are dying every day

And long Covid continues to wreak havoc in the lives of many with still no treatments available

I’m immuocompromised

I’m on Day 1081 of self isolation, going out only to get vaccinated and a few urgent dental appointments

I haven’t seen my adult kids or only grandchild since January 2020
