"Monica Gandhi's 'Endemic': A Guide to Navigating the Next COVID Era"
Monica Gandhi, known as "the pandemic's wrongest woman" for her inaccurate predictions about COVID-19, has published a book titled "Endemic" that offers a post-pandemic playbook for future health crises. Despite her flawed predictions, Gandhi's fundamental arguments about the virus have proven to be sound, as SARS-CoV-2 has become endemic with population immunity from vaccines and infections providing protection from severe illness. Gandhi's book emphasizes the importance of harm reduction, the need to consider other needs alongside public health measures, and the negative consequences of mixing public health with politics. She also calls for better access to healthcare and global equity in vaccine distribution.
