Drs. May and Tim interview Dr. Jonathan Howard, author of "We Want Them Infected," on BS Free MD. Dr. Howard's book challenges the herd immunity approach taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that promoting widespread infection was dangerous and ineffective.
As a dual specialist in neurology and psychiatry, Dr. Howard provides a unique perspective, highlighting the divide between hospital-based experiences and public health strategies. The discussion covers the ethical concerns of using children to achieve herd immunity, the impact of lockdowns, and the role of vaccines. The episode underscores the value of open, respectful conversations in exploring complex health issues.
Dr. Jonathan Howard is a neurologist and psychiatrist based at NYU and Bellevue Hospital, where he has practiced for over 20 years. He is the author of "We Want Them Infected," a book that critically examines the herd immunity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Howard has been deeply involved in discussions on vaccine policies and the anti-vaccine movement for over a decade. His work focuses on understanding the cognitive biases in medicine and promoting honest, evidence-based public health strategies.
