"Associate producer Joe Virgillito speaks once again with Dr. Celine Gounder (@celinegounder) about the COVID-19 delta variant, vaccination messaging, New York's new vaccination requirement for indoor dining, and more.

Dr. Gounder is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine. She’s also the CEO, President, and Founder of Just Human Productions, a non-profit multimedia organization and hosts and produces two podcasts—American Diagnosis, a podcast on health and social justice, and Epidemic, a podcast about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Later in the episode, Jacqueline Soller and Charles Hinshaw discuss the recently released movie, Zola,’ directed by Janicza Bravo.
