Professor Brian Cox and a panel of experts discuss COVID-19 and whether we are prepared for the next pandemic. Where or when could it happen? How could we control it? What would we do differently? In this episode, a live studio audience quizzes world-leading scientists and doctors working on the frontline, specialising in infectious disease, vaccines and protecting us from the next deadly outbreak. Panellists • Teresa Lambe – Head of Vaccine Immunology, University of Oxford and co-designer of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine • Wendy Barclay – Head of the Department for Infectious Disease at Imperial College London • Emma Wall – Senior Clinical Research Fellow, Francis Crick Institute and Consultant in Infectious Diseases, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust • Kevin Fong – Professor of Public Engagement and Innovation, UCL and Consultant Anaesthetist, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The language of masks and “stopping the spread” returns, not as public health but as a ritual of control, replaying the same moral coercion that defined the pandemic years. As flu replaces COVID and institutions resurrect old scripts, buried conflicts of interest, silenced ethics advisers, and pharmaceutical entanglements resurface, exposing how fear was weaponised to justify authority. What once passed as care now looks like conditioning, as legacy media and public bodies rehearse obedience while insisting nothing has been learned.
