'BradCast' 3/1/2021 (Guest: Dr. Karl Krupp of University of Arizona's Zuckerman College of Public Health)

03-01-2021 (53.42 MB)

On today's 'BradCast':   Good news and bad news today -- the U.S. House passed President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID economic relief package, which includes $1,400 individual checks and hundreds of billions in relief. Despite 76 percent approval among voters (including more than 60 percent of Republican voters), zero House Republicans voted for the package. The FDA approved a new, one-shot vaccine manufactured by Johnson & Johnson that requires only regular refrigeration for storage, vastly expanding the distribution of vaccines to even more Americans. DR. KARL KRUPP, of the University of Arizona's Zuckerman School of Public Health, offers insights into the efficacy, differences and similarities between the three vaccines now available, and why he believes Americans should take any vaccine they can get as quickly as possible. He also explains why epidemiologists have become worried about recent declines in COVID infection, hospitalization and death rates, as states and cities begin to relax restrictions again at the same time as more deadly, transmissible variants are taking hold across the country. Dr. Krupp discusses why the nation may be on the verge of stumbling into a fourth surge in the pandemic, and how 'we're screwing it up all over again.' Also today:  In Jackson, Mississippi, tens of thousands are still without clean water, or even any water at all, more than two weeks after an extreme winter storm two weeks ago crippled the city's antiquated water system – primarily in predominately black areas of the city. France's conservative former President Nicolas Sarkozy has been found guilty of corruption, proving that modern democracies can hold even the most powerful to account.
