Defend Public Health’s full policy platform can be found below. We’ll be holding candidates’ feet to the fire on whether or not they support this platform and if they plan to fight for the public’s health.

@gottalaff.bsky.social It is so stupid. He and his sycophants, who don't talk to the experts (we still have). The US has spent 250 years telling the world and our own people about Freedom of Navigation...The bully that will lose...at least in the long run.

@nomdeb @bich It seems that it will be the swing of a pendulum; enough infectious disease deaths (in the public mind) to demand action...Public Health is a victim of its own successes...

@bich Concurred, decisions that would be made wholly on the science, is often a victim of satisficing, a term from public administration...which has sadly been lost on many hardline politicians.

@12thRITS When I was a young man....I learned to always maintain a "To thine own ass be true" file. I hope she knows there is plenty of blame to go around....

@bich I have been thinking that this examples, reflects a fundamental, at least for medicine, drive to let data establish positions, rather than a power framework for the politics side of policy.
