Rik Mehta Talks COVID Response and Public Health Challenges
The truth is the Biden administration has turned our country into a single public health issue country and unfortunately for many Americans, they continue to struggle.
Ever wondered if the government’s pandemic strategies are hitting the mark? In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', Rik Mehta, a former FDA official and current Georgetown University healthcare professor, sits down with the hosts to scrutinize President Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis.

Listeners will find the discussion around treatment options, natural immunity, and the inconsistencies in pandemic management particularly engaging. This episode offers a candid look at the complexities of public health during a global crisis, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the broader impacts of pandemic policies.
