The Non-Prophets explore the emergence of a new COVID variant, NB 181, and the public health system’s fragile readiness. With mutations targeting the spike protein and signs of increased transmissibility, scientists are urging caution without panic. The panel unpacks virology basics, shares personal stories of loss, and grapples with America’s deep distrust in institutions like the CDC and FDA. When trust erodes, so does the ability to respond—will we repeat past mistakes?
