Stephen Bezruchka: The Human Cancer in the Covid-19 Era on Alternative Radio – Sunday at 10 am

A famous Russian revolutionary once said, “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” The pandemic certainly feels that way. We are in limbo. The uncertainty is bewildering. What can we expect? What must we do?  There are no clear answers. Dr. Stephen Bezruchka presents a novel view of the novel virus.  What if we are a cancer on this planet?  The human species fits the definition of a cancer. We have practiced cancer denial and are paying the price with the world's largest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. We need to honor and respect Gaia, our beloved and besieged planet.  The recent global protests present the opportunity to collectively treat the human species cancer and hope for a remission. We need a new perspective on our life on Earth. Let the healing begin.

Dr. Stephen Bezruchka is on the faculty of the Department of Global Health and the Department of Health Services at the University of Washington. He worked for many years as an emergency physician in Seattle.
