Public health is public wealth, a historian reminds us in a new book. Accepting preventable disease and death undermines democracy and society's capacities to cope with future challenges.
What a brilliant article, Carol ! Who is working to get the forecasted data about COVID variants and the ethical/moral issues you raise back into broadcast and social media?
Hi Patty, There are several people (probably hundreds, though) I can name off the top of my head including Dr. Brendan Crabb of Australia, Dr. Sanjib K. Gandhi of Canada (former pediatriac cardiothoracic surgeon, George Monbiot of the UK (whose article yesterday in the Guardian is linked in the article), and the Substack writers (Jessica Wildfire and Julie Doubleday) I also mentioned and to whose work I've linked to.
Really well done article!
excellent work!
Thanks Sumitra!

Plenty of prophets but like with Jeremiah, our leaders tune them out.
Thank you, Patti, I meant to say earlier that\ Eric Topol, a US cardiologist, has been writing in the media about the evolving variants, as in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/08/xbb-covid-variant-immune-evasive-pandemic/
