Talk to them about why it's safe." - Gov. Chris ChristieConservatives have emerged as the group least likely to say they’ll get vaccinated. Getting more conservative Americans comfortable with the vaccines will be needed to control the pandemic as national vaccination rates have started to slow and new variants spread across the United States. In this episode we’ll look at the results of a focus group attended by Governor Christie and other GOP leaders to listen to these voters’ concerns and see if they could be convinced to get vaccinated.This podcast was created by Just Human Productions.

Across the country, states are moving forward to either require or ban vaccine passports, even as nations move forward with bilateral agreements to allow travel without quarantining if you have one. As more people get vaccinated it will become the travel conundrum. Many cruise lines already say they will require proof of vaccination for crews and passengers. Sports and entertainment venues in certain states also say it will be required for entry. The federal government has maintained they won't be mandating one, but private companies are saying that a "passport" or COVID vaccine card is your ticket in. Would a vaccine passport, called by any other word, be as controversial? To find out how exactly these passports or verification cards would work, and "what's in a name," we spoke with Dakota Gruener, Executive Director for ID2020, a nonprofit group that's working on digital identification and is part of the Good Health Pass Collaborative; and Brian Castrucci, DrPH, MA, an epidemiologist and President & CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation.
Dr. Castrucci joined us to discuss his evolving collaborations with noted Republican pollster Frank Luntz, an expert who is a “master class in communications.” Through a series of surveys and focus groups, they have teamed up to understand how best to engage conservative Republican voters who refuse or are otherwise deeply resistant to getting vaccinated against Sars-CoV-2. “Covid has been politicized since day one” and the question now is how to “change the conversation.” “If this is a political debate, we all lose.” What is the solution? Every health provider has to make engagement with patients on the vaccine a routine part of every patient’s visit. “Good stories and good facts” is “our formula, ” which can educate versus indoctrinate. Give people the facts, and they will “change hearts and minds.” Dr. Brian Castrucci is the President and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation, based in Bethesda, Maryland.

Social determinants of health are not new — but COVID-19 is. The pandemic has led to an even wider gap in public health, leading some Americans to have a higher chance of surviving the illness than others. Healthcare leaders have been called upon before to push issues related to social determinants of health, and now that calling is even more urgent. Dr. Brian Castrucci, epidemiologist and President and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation, shares his insight on how healthcare leaders can join community leaders in using social determinants of health to promote health equity in the American health system.

The New Normal: Conversations About the Future of Healthcare
Public health is sometimes commonly short-handed as all the other factors that lead to maintaining a health society – i.e. “the social determinants of health.” Our national health pandemic has only highlighted the gaps we have in addressing public health challenges in our society – with the dramatic impact it has had on underserved communities. And with record level of unemployment in these same communities and the partisan approach to addressing this pandemic, is there such a thing as a political determinant of health?. In this episode, I speak with Brian Castrucci, president and chief executive officer of the de Beaumont Foundation, a leading voice in health philanthropy and public health practice. Brian leads the de Beaumont Foundation's efforts to advance policy, build partnerships, and strengthen the public health system to create communities where people can achieve their best possible health.
