Abdul and Katelyn discuss another inundating week in public health, which includes:

• The sudden departure of the CDC Director, Susan Monarez, just weeks after her confirmation

• The resignations of three other top leaders at HHS

• FDA’s approval of the fall Covid booster, which limits the vaccine to seniors and people at high risk, as well as new alternative recommendations from major medical organizations

• A Supreme Court ruling that puts a new legal wrinkle in the fight to restore NIH grants

• The rise of radioactive shrimp and flying fresh-eating maggots!

Then as we look ahead to Labor Day, Abdul sits down with Dr. Taylor Walker, president of the largest labor union representing physicians. We are dark next week for the holiday.
