Summary
To end 2020, Maria and Julio talk with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, epidemiologist and author of "Healing Politics: A Doctor's Journey Into the Heart of our Political Epidemic."

They also dive into the current healthcare system and what is needed to turn a vaccine into vaccinations. This episode was mixed by Rosana Cabán.
