As a public health professional I have been dismayed at the response to COVID, specifically, and the seeming embrace of transgender ideology. There's no excuse for this, but I still think the underlying premise and principles of public health are rock solid. The goal of medicine is to treat illnesses and injuries. The goal of public health is to prevent illness and injury from occurring in the first place. 99% of public health is just common sense, mundane everyday stuff that people take for granted. But I think it's well past time for the public health profession to rethink certain underlying assumptions and paradigms. The vaccine paradigm is a glaring item for me. Everyone in public health needs to read two books: The Real Anthony Fauci" and "Turtles All the Way Down." I, personally, was a major proponent of the old vaccine philosophy until the COVID vaccine fiasco opened my eyes.
