They also discuss the possible dangers and advantages of polytherapy (use of more than one medication) compared to monotherapy (using only one medication).

After peeking through a flower-covered fence with his brother and seeing the living conditions of Black children in Virginia, Weber recalls feeling “startled.” “The fence plays a double-role… As well as supporting these flowers, it’s also hiding what’s behind there. So I’d like to find some way to get a little bit of that effect… lifting the veil.”
