Next Week in Public Health, January 17, 2025

We’ve been a bit unplugged this week, spending some well-earned time off in San Diego. Before going to the airport, we stopped at the Sunset Cliffs and walked down to the beach. Can you believe that I had never touched the Pacific before? Mission accomplished. We found all sorts of weird creatures in tide pools, […]

Some super data was released this week. KFF Health News, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins and Shatterproof, has launched a comprehensive database tracking how billions from recent opioid settlements are being used by states and local governments. This resource, based on extensive research and public records from all 50 states, details the funds received in […]

Countdown to inauguration day, I guess. While I’m a big fan of the local determination of health policies, this needs to be balanced against the rights of people. It’s definitely not enough to “wait and see.” We have to do tangible work toward change. Something I have seen floating around Reddit is “do not comply […]

Next Year in Public Health, December 27, 2024

I’ve got to honest, no one is quite sure. I’ve been digging more into RFK, and there’s a real duality there. There are some great ideas about food quality, and some bonkers ideas about vaccines. Filter that through Republicans holding a federal trifecta, and there’s no telling what we are going to get. You can […]

A Clinical Trial is the Definition of Vaccine Skepticsm.

Next Week in Public Health, December 6, 2024 After a month of discouragement and avoiding the news, I’ve been back at monitoring what’s going on from a policy perspective in the US. Obviously, the big change is the incoming administration and what several, eh, sketchy picks for different agency heads might have for public health. […]

It’s been a doozy of a month. We’re on the cusp of a major policy change in public health in America, and it’s not clear how to move forward yet. We’ll be talking to people, consulting the literature, and basically doing what we have to do to make all people can achieve wellness, broadly defined. […]

Not gonna lie. It’s been a shitty, shitty week. And that’s before we get to the news of the day, which is that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been nominated to be incoming Secretary of Health and Human Services. Like an aging hipster, Kennedy used to be cool but has become virulently anti-science over the […]

I am so freaking dissappointed. It’s not even with the candidates, it’s with this country. I mean really? Am I so out of touch that my values system is just so misaligned? What does that say about the work we try to do? What does that say about meaningful community engagement? I feel a type […]
