S9E24 - Branding A Disease Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly
-
- Sociedad y cultura
This week, we explore the branding of diseases. Over the course of history, diseases have been named after people and countries with devastating effects. Names have stigmatized entire regions, decimated industries and have even caused diplomatic crises. And countries have weaponized diseases for political purposes. As with all branding, words matter.
