Episode notes
Vaccination Is A New Equity Line
- Vaccination introduces a new equity fault line across and within countries.
- Hosts must weigh legal, ethical, and access factors when making vaccine-related policies.
Give Clear Handrails Before Meetings
- Make the implicit explicit by giving guests clear handrails before gatherings.
- Share practical details (time, rain plan, tech, expectations) so people can make informed choices.
