Episode 30: COVID Vaccine Passports: Necessary or Nefarious?

Recurring guests Saurabh Jha (@RogueRad), MD, radiologist in Philadelphia, and Vinay Prasad (@VPrasadMDMPH), MD, MPH, hematologist/oncologist in San Francisco, seek to settle the debate surrounding COVID vaccine passports. Both scholars defend their recently published viewpoints – Dr. Jha arguing for passport mandates and Dr. Prasad arguing against them. Will requiring proof of vaccination be driven by the business sector, local or federal governments, or anywhere in between? Will vaccines help jump start or continue to stall economies? When is the right time to impose a vaccine passport, if ever at all? This is a real barn-burner of a discussion that you won’t want to miss.View Dr. Jha’s publication on The Health Care Blog https://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2021/04/29/the-market-forces-behind-vaccine-passports/View Dr. Prasad’s publication in Medscape https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/92107
