As a Physician on the front line, I find it disconcerting that I can no longer trust what were previously thought to be esteemed sources of medical information. Journals are corrupt, institutions like the CDC are corrupt, Universities are corrupt. It is difficult to stamp out human disease and to advocate confidently for healthy practices in this environment.
But there is hope: my daughter was required by her faculty of graduate studies, to take advanced courses in biostatistics for the expressed purpose of having the skills to sharply critique research papers, publications and institutional claims and policies. Her entire cohort of future Doctors at her school (University of Calgary) with combined MD/MSc/PhD degrees will have those skills in the officially termed, “leaders of Medicine” program, or “LIM”.
So, I think that there is hope for a brighter future with better bureaucrats in health care institutions.
I was once, briefly, a public health bacteriologist in the '60s and saw the excellent cooperation between the CDC and state public health labs. I wonder just how bad has the decline of the CDC affected public health in the states as a result of no longer having this resource to depend on?
The CDC is fertile hunting ground for RFK to KSA.

Wonderful. Please put your daughter to work on One Health!
