Radio Sweden Weekly: State epidemiologist resigns, but why

In this episode of Radio Sweden Weekly, hosts Babak Parham and Mike Walsh cover two main stories: the resignation of Sweden's state epidemiologist, Magnus Joslin, and insights from Swedish Radio's foreign correspondents. The discussion on Joslin's resignation includes his criticism of the Public Health Agency's lack of medical expertise in upper management and the controversy surrounding revised tonsillitis treatment guidelines. Ulrika Björksten, a former science commentator, provides context on the situation. Later, the hosts present interviews with foreign correspondents Inna Lindberg (Washington, D.C.), Lubna El Shanti (Ukraine), and Samar Hadrous (Middle East), who share their experiences and challenges in reporting on significant global events, including U.S. politics under the Trump presidency, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the complexities of the Middle East conflict.
