Introducing: The David Frum Show
Subscribe here: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube A recent infographic published by Media Matters depicted America's political-podcast space as dominated by extremist voices, mostly far-right, a few far-left. Yet most of us are levelheaded people. Most of us want insights, not insults. We want to invest our time to feel smarter, not angrier. We want to renew our ideals and remember together that America's democracy has always proved stronger than its enemies and doubters. On April 9, The Atlantic and I will launch a new video podcast called The David Frum Show. It will post every Wednesday, on YouTube and anywhere you listen to podcasts, with eminent guests from the worlds not only of politics, but of economics, medicine, and history. I hope every viewer and listener will find that the show offers the most informed and entertaining conversations of the day—sparkled with enough humor to brighten these dark times. In today's media, truth is often hard to find. Lies are everywhere—and too often for free. I hope all who seek something better will feel the warmth of welcome at The David Frum Show.

How Trump Is Muzzling the C.D.C.

Tami Chappell/Reuters To the Editor: As former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public health professionals, we are alarmed by the Trump administration's recent actions, which severely restrict the agency's communications and have compromised its ability to protect the health of the American people. Late last month, the C.D.C. was ordered to cease communications with the World Health Organization and other agencies to comply with an executive order from President Trump. The C.D.C. and the W.H.O. have worked closely together since they were created in the 1940s to improve the health of Americans and save lives. That work has included eliminating smallpox, nearly eliminating polio, stopping the first SARS epidemic, containing Ebola, mitigating the Covid-19 pandemic and protecting people from bird flu — to name only a few accomplishments. But now, for example, the C.D.C. will not have input into the W.H.O.'s meeting deciding which influenza strains should be targeted by next year's flu shot. Domestically, C.D.C. employees are now severely restricted from communicating with anyone outside the government and from publishing anything that includes words like 'gender, L.G.B.T.Q., biologically male and biologically female,' and have been ordered to retract and revise existing publications using those words. Certain C.D.C. websites with medical recommendations for practitioners and health officials have gone dark. Witness the C.D.C.'s recent posting and immediate deleting of data about bird flu spread from cats to people (news article, Feb. 8). Many people are not aware of the work the C.D.C. does because it focuses on prevention, and it usually works: We don't see diseases and injuries that did not occur as a result of those interventions.
