Episode 16: Adam Fifield, on the Enduring Legacy of Jim Grant

As we find ourselves in an ongoing measles outbreak, with news of vaccine hesitancy and skepticism on the rise, we look back this week to a true UNICEF visionary for inspiration. As UNICEF's executive director from 1980 to 1995, the late Jim Grant helped launch the child survival revolution that led to a massive leap in child immunization rates around the world. Adam Fifield, who chronicled Grant's life in the book "A Mighty Purpose," joins us to talk about how we can rally the public together and renew trust in vaccines.
