Author Jennifer Wright talks with the PNM team about her most recent book “Get Well Soon: History’s Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them”.

This book is a whimsy and humane romp through some of history’s most terrifying disease outbreaks.

We talk with Jennifer about how the anti-vaccine movement has been around since at least 1893, the new diseases emerging as a result of the melting permafrost due to climate change and whether or not the U.S.A. is ready for a major epidemic today.
