Segment Description: Jason Pogue, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP, clinical pharmacist and professor in infectious diseases at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy, speaks with Contagion about the state of publishing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A different publication, on use of the drug for out-patient prophylaxis, has offered less contested insight.
