As more States attempt to enact mask bans & Trump continues to dismantle public health, it becomes increasingly clear that we’re on our own.
Masks should be mandatory in healthcare, yet you will often see more patients masking than healthcare workers.

When you can predict health outcomes based on postcodes, the issue is much more than individual choice.
Mothers and kids in the outer suburbs don't choose to be more obese than those in the inner suburbs. Obesigenic environments drive health inequities.

I do appreciate the research that helps equip people with info on how we can improve our quality of life, other factors notwithstanding, but I really wish there were a lot more articles published on the adverse health effects of capitalism.

Scientists have learned that less wage labor and not having corporations control every aspect of your life is the answer you've been looking for!"

"Her death might have been a warning to an increasingly vaccine-hesitant country about the consequences of shunning the only guaranteed way to fight the preventable disease.
