Tyrone Brooks

Tyrone Brooks has covered public health, medicine, and equity for eighteen years. He was senior health reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and contributed to Pulitzer-winning COVID coverage at ProPublica. He started on NPR's science desk and co-hosts health podcasts. Tyrone joined GroundTruthCentral to answer the personal "why" questions health headlines raise — "Why does this disease affect some groups more?" or "How does a vaccine actually work?" He believes curiosity saves lives when met with clear answers. He advises CDC communications. Tyrone earned an MPH and journalism dual degree from Emory University with distinction.
