Everything is Public Health

Everything is Public Health

Everything is public health and public health is for everyone. 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 15 minute city is a simple urban planning concept that prioritizes the people's health and wellbeing, with the added benefit of reducing environmental impact, pollution, and inefficiencies. It is arguably the best way to design an urban space. So why do the conservatives have a full blown moral panic about it?

Regulations are written in blood. Whose blood are we using? 

The CDC Injury Center has been fully gutted. For the foreseeable future, we will not know what is killing us. This is proactive deregulation, as a lack of evidence of a problem can be used to justify the lack for more rules and policies.

Trash collection is a critical public service, though the real problem is how much trash we generate in the first place.

The last time an autocratic government made policy decisions based on pseudoscience, millions of people died. America is on the precipice of doing the same. 

Policy must be based on science.

The conservatives are trying to ban birth control. Yes, really.

Moms for Liberty puts kids in danger.  Abstinence only sex ed, book bans, and problematic curriculum are antithetical to a good education and good public health.

Deleting data and research is book burning. No need to read 1984, we’re living through it. 

Data is a representation of reality. By controlling data, one can control our understanding of reality, and in the hands of an autocratic regime erasing data is a highly effective tool for erasing dissent. After all, no one can claim the regime is causing problems if no evidence of said problems exists.  We are witnessing the full scale disma...

We are about to witness multiple tragedies, and just how much cognitive dissonance people can have. 

A high level government agency like FEMA is the solution to handling large scale disasters, which thanks to climate change will only get more frequent. Gutting FEMA would be a bad idea.
