Introducing Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows

In this season of Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows, we travel back to a pivotal moment in the history of this country, and we trace how, decades before Covid-19, a virus tore through some of our most vulnerable communities while the wider world looked away. We go to a pediatric ward in Harlem, a women’s prison in upstate New York, a drug market in the South Bronx, and the inner sanctum of the National Institutes of Health. And we meet people who demanded that they, and their illness, be seen: mothers and children, doctors and nurses, nuns and sex workers, and a woman who literally helped change the definition of AIDS. The first episode comes out on Jan. 18. Blindspot is a co-production of The History Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with The Nation Magazine. Cover photo by Donna Binder.

I just finished the 3rd season about how HiV/AIDS started and I was coming from another podcast covering similar content. Both were good but this had so much heart and seemed to be a much more comprehensive take on all who were affected. Loved it. Thank you for creating this

This podcast is a reminder that we are not learning all the lessons from history, especially when you lived through it and thought you understood what and why it happened.
Don’t get your facts from HISTORY©️Channels!!!

Whenever a sketchy ‘partial owner’ of the world pops his head up from behind one of their mega Corp LLC’s , you can always bet it’s not on the humble. Read this mini-special’s summary. They act like they solved global hunger!!! Meanwhile ,History accomplished such an extensive historical account of the 80s aids psyop, that they ‘innocently’ neglected to mention fauci’s extensive & murderous role in the affair. Fauci, the Deceptive , Rat-Oil , Sales-weasel always shills for whatever pharmaceutical company needs him. Oh well!! Till this beast system awards him with a lifetime achievement award that we can all get amnesia for !!
