Dr. Ala Stanford: People didn't just trust my Covid guidance because of my race, 'I had to earn it' - Velshi - MSNBC
Covid-19 is surging. Thanks to the widespread availability of vaccines, it's not a huge danger to most Americans, but it never did go away and there are vulnerable populations who are still very much at risk. According to the CDC, Covid-19 cases are "growing" or "likely growing" in 20 states.
Founder of the Black Doctors Covid-19 Consortium and the Ala Stanford Center for Health Equity, Dr. Ala Stanford joins Ali Velshi to explain the newest warnings and guidelines Americans should be following and to discuss her new book, “Take Care of them Like My Own: Faith, Fortitude, and a Surgeon’s Fight for Health Justice.” - Aired on 08/31/2024.
