Infected

In Infected, award-winning scientist Muhammad H. Zaman examines the history of epidemics in the United States, tracing a narrative from syphilis and smallpox to AIDS and COVID-19. He reveals how the nation's responses to these infectious diseases have often served as a strategy for oppression against marginalized groups. Highlighting events such as the Tuskegee experiments and the recent xenophobic rhetoric during the COVID-19 pandemic, Zaman illustrates the intertwining of medical science and social control. This compelling audiobook combines historical insights and cutting-edge research to shed light on the ongoing impact of these issues today.
