About this listen

Sahil and Huda interview Rachel Gur-Arie, a Hecht-Levi Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics & Infectious Disease at the Berman Institute at John Hopkins University and at the Wellcome Center for Ethics and Humanities at the University of Oxford. She also completed her PhD in Health Systems Management at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beer Sheva, Israel. 

In this episode, Rachel Gur-Arie educates us on the ethical issues related to a vaccine mandate, why Israel was one of the first fully vaccinated countries and what makes Israel's vaccine rollout so streamlined as compared to other first world countries. Rachel also expands on the need for transparency when it comes to a vaccine rollout and how a country's government should be communicating with it's citizen when it comes to public health agenda and policies.

Finally, we touch on the risks involved with mandating vaccines for children and the ethical issues related to it on a global level.
