Episode 10: The World Changes: We Need New Models of Change, Part 3- Tuberculosis Vaccine Story

What past models of change can we learn from to adapt to our current change needs?

Join me today in the final of our three special episodes devoted to models of past change.  Today we talk  about the history of tuberculosis --  how it shaped the history of the world for millennia, the eventual identification of the bacteria that causes this disease as one of the first examples of the use of the scientific method and the long process to develop a vaccine and treatment to fight this scourge.  As we start to have hope about the development of the vaccine to fight Covid 19, we can keep the lessons learned in mind to work to ensure the successful deployment of this life saving treatment.

Topics discussed in this episode:

How we can learn from a past societal change – the introduction and adoption of vaccine and treatment for tuberculosis

What the path to acceptance of the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis required  

How we can learn from the examples of this great improvement in pubic health to ready ourselves to be effective in the eventual deployment of the Covid 19 vaccine.
