The Don’t Panic Pandemic with Dr. Simone Gold
Kyle sits down with Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America's Frontline Doctors and GoldCare.com, the voice that went viral in 2020 for being right about the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Gold shares her journey through the tumultuous landscape of the Covid-19 pandemic, detailing her early assessments and the subsequent criticisms she faced from government officials and mainstream media in 2020.
As discussions around pandemic responses continue to evolve, Dr. Gold reflects on the information she presented and how it has been vindicated over time. Dr. Gold shares how we can have the right kind of trust in science and medicine - what vaccines are effective and which medical professionals we can look to - particularly in light of the challenges posed by so much misinformation circulating over the past few years.
She also shares how we can move forward as a nation, fostering a culture of open dialogue and critical thinking in public health. As yet another virus scare emerges, Dr. Gold also offers her perspective on preparedness for future pandemics, discussing strategies that can help bridge the gap between medical professionals, government authorities, and the public.
