    “Resistance to the corruption of public health …”

    There, fixed it.

    If you can read this article and agree “ya, why are all those weirdos worried about the current state of public health in America”, then I wonder if you’ve been paying attention to the trends since about 1970?

      The downward trend of measles, polio, AIDS after its spike has been nice. Also the cleaner air and water following federal acts, breathing less lead from the removal of lead from gasoline. What trends are you worried about? Maternal and neonatal mortality rates? Obesity and its related diseases? (That might be worse than 1970, thank you Big Sugar.)

      There's a difference between health that's purely yours and health that affects others. I want freedom FROM disease, so all of us getting quality vaccinations is important to me. Most of the covid deniers would somehow mind me coughing a cold into their face even if they didn't mind coughing their covid into mine.

      But drink raw milk if you want. Just beware serving it to others unless they want it too.
