Jafar Tabebordbar was in his early 30’s, living and working as an accountant in Shiraz, Iran, when he became a father.

It was 1986, nearly a decade after the 1979 revolution, and Jafar’s muscles were already beginning to whither.

As his sons grew, and watched, their father Jafar lost his balance, his ability to walk, to drive, and eventually, the reliable use of his hands. There were no answers, and no treatments to be found.

Two questions haunted his sons as they grew: What was causing their father’s suffering? And would they get it next?

My guest in Episode #131, 30 years later, is Dr. Sharif Tabebordbar, Jafar’s oldest son, and the scientist closest to a cure.

Listen to his emotional and inspiring story here.

It's been two years since so many of us took our kids out of schools, downloaded an app called Zoom, and started videoconferencing our work from our kitchens and sweatpants. For many others, especially the marginalized and those working in the service industry, working from home was never an option.

It's been 13 months since groundbreaking vaccines began to roll out across the world. You've probably got at least two, maybe three.

And yet today, 39% of humans across the globe haven't received a single shot, and just 10% across low-income countries have received a single dose.

Over 3 billion humans remain not only susceptible to sickness and death, but also a vector for transmission and mutations that could affect us all.

The only way any of us is truly done with this is if we vaccinate the world.

So why aren't we doing it?

My guest in Episode #130 is Dr. Madhukar Pai, the one of the world's most influential voices on vaccine equity.

Find out how the hell we get out of this today.
