"The concept of 'public health' is used today as a package deal..."


"The concept of 'public health' is used today as a package deal to leverage the legitimate function of government regarding infectious disease (e.g. quarantine) to rationalise illegitimate paternalistic government programs for improving indirect health outcomes."
~ Dr. Amesh Adalja, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, from his lecture at #OCON2023

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
