Kill Shot w/Natalia Megas

In 2012, a fungal meningitis outbreak killed 100 people and infected 750 more. Two doctors at the Center for Disease Control raced against time to stop a nationwide pandemic eight years before the Covid pandemic. Journalist Natalia Megas, whose work has appeared in The Guardian, Washingtonian, and The Daily Beast, joins us to talk about a race-against-time medical drama that's different enough to not be a too-soon Covid movie, but can still speak to our present ongoing crisis.
