It's a 13 minute radio interview with a politically moderate pro vaccine news and talk radio station WGN.

Dr. Allison Arwady makes some good points and from the City of Chicago website:

She has worked on disease outbreaks, immunization promotion, tuberculosis response, lead poisoning prevention, substance misuse, and more. Prior to CDPH, she worked for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer. In that role, she focused on outbreak response, including international work on Ebola and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. While based at the Illinois Department of Public Health, she responded to disease outbreaks across the state. She has a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University, and completed medical school and clinical training at Yale University. She is a board-certified internal medicine physician and pediatrician, and continues to see primary care patients weekly.

So she is much more knowledgeable than I am about Covid. I'm just a nurse. Fingers crossed she is correct about Lalapalooza.

1. It's all good as long as there is enough beds in the hospital for

all covid patients.
