About this listen

 In this week's conversation with Av Harris, the former senior Communications Officer for the Connecticut Department of Public Health, we discuss whether certain "underserved" communities really need to be targeted and coerced into agreeing to be vaccinated for Covid - won't they, as Todd suggests, be led to that conclusion on their own by following the natural flow of events? Also, Av brings us behind the scenes of some DPH decision making processes, explains why the state epidemiologist, Dr. Matthew Cartter, was put on ice by the governor, and how the governor otherwise refused to trust the scientists, instead creating his own private and sometimes secret group of advisers to assist in decision making. Eventually, adds Av, the experienced public health professionals in the DPH were reduced to listening to Governor Lamont's press conferences to learn what course of action he had chosen for the state's Covid response. While a crisis has been famously described as a time when transformative public policy can be made that might otherwise be impossible, the Covid crisis also offers many opportunities to gain unusual perspectives on all the crap that goes into the sausage of government decision making. https://ctmirror.org/2021/03/26/ct-to-hire-71-member-campaign-team-to-push-vaccines-in-10-cities/
