Columbia University Study on Preventable Pandemic Deaths
A study from Columbia University led by Dr. Erwin Redlener estimates that up to 210,000 U.S. deaths could have been avoided with earlier policy interventions. The hosts deconstruct Redlener's background, noting his roles as an advisor to Mayor Bill de Blasio and his involvement in the 2000 Elian Gonzalez case. Financial records from OpenSecrets are cited to characterize Redlener as a partisan figure rather than a neutral researcher.
