Everything is Public Health

Everything is Public Health

Everything is public health and public health is for everyone. The sibling podcast: https://publichealth_isfor_everyone.buzzsprout.com/ So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, protecting our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. This is the world of public health; a science of understanding the countless forces and designing solutions to help prevent or mitigate harm and improve the health and well-being of the people. Public health saved your life today, and you probably didn't notice. https://www.everythingispublichealth.com/

The Kids Online Safety Act has one giant problem. 

There are genuine concerns regarding kids and teens interacting with the internet, and we should approach this like any other public health problem. What we shouldn't do is have another moral panic and allow these massive platforms to control even more of our lives.
