"There should have been universal basic income. There should have been a massive infusion of resources from the federal government that would actually have allowed people to stay home then in a concentrated way." Thank you to Lawrence T.

Lawrence's knowledge and commentary provided our co-hosts with a thought provoking discussion on policies, practices, systems and budgets regarding race and the ongoing pandemic.

"We’re aiding developing countries like we should – a return to the leadership position that makes us the United States of America. Re-engaging with WHO is important for the long-term health of our globe. We can prioritize America’s health while contributing to people that are less fortunate at the same time. If the United States and other global leaders don’t take steps like this, developing nations will continue to suffer from COVID-19 and other neglected tropical diseases. We need to do more, not less, to help." - Justin S. Beck, ContaktWorld Founder / CEO and co-host of Contakt World: Truth in Health

Current statistics show that 1 in 735 Black Americans die from COVID-19, while only 1 in 1,030 white Americans will succumb to the virus. This is a disturbing figure but unfortunately is not surprising. Implicit bias is rampant throughout the healthcare industry and the stereotypes and unconscious attitudes towards minority communities is killing them. The third episode of our podcast, "COVID: Does Race = Risk", discussed the connection between race and privilege within our healthcare system and how the lives of marginalized individuals are being put at a greater risk by those in power.

Thank you to Daniel E. Dawes for joining us on the second episode of Contakt World: Truth in Health. This week’s episode touched on the need for policy makers to be more proactive rather than reactive. Action that is simply “reactive” allows for funding to be provided once a crisis occurs, but financial support is then rescinded once the crisis has been averted. Daniel expressed how policy makers should invest in the equitable distribution of both vaccines and contact tracing in order to ensure that all communities have equal access to these resources.

Thank you to Daniel E. Dawes for joining us on the second episode of Contakt World: Truth in Health! Daniel’s role as the executive director of Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta and co-founder of the Health Equity Leadership and Exchange Network allowed him to share unique insights from the frontline of the healthcare reform movement. A major takeaway from the conversation with Daniel is that policy makers need to be proactive when handling a crisis and continue to provide funding even after a crisis is considered to be over - continuous funding will allow for communities of all socioeconomic backgrounds to receive the necessary funding for things such as testing and contact tracing. Tune in to our second episode - COVID The Great Revealer.

ContaktWorld CEO, Justin Beck, recently spoke to Fox News on how at least three COVID-19 vaccines are confirmed to be safe and effective.

This podcast looks to be your life raft of protection in the age of disinformation - make sure to tune in for our first episode with Dr. Peter Hotez on December 8th on iHeartRadio.
