Our guest is Dr. Shamez Ladhani, a pediatric infectious disease specialist with a focus on vaccine-preventable diseases. He also holds a position of epidemiologist at Public Health England and has been among the first to obtain real life data on the effects of the pandemic on children and schools. He joins us to discuss his perspective on what a public health policy based on data, rather than perception and fear, should look like.
