A great write-up on brand-new research I was involved in. We used a really different approach from the ones that we & many others have used previously to estimate how many Covid deaths there *really* were--almost 20% more than known. Our results broadly accord w others but add new demographic detail
We will look back at the medical abuses in ICE detention as a modern day #bioethics failure akin to Tuskegee & Japanese internment during WWII

International support matters when it aligns with strategies built alongside regional institutions and governments
In the United States, property is wealth, and wealth is power. Racial wealth inequalities are (in part) the enduring result of this confluence. But today, as accelerating financialization transform...

Those of us in public health don't just have to become better storytellers, we need go out into our communities and co-create a better future for all of us. The story of public health in the 21st century should be one embedded in communities that need us most. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
A year before he passed away, I interviewed Dr Paul Farmer @pih.org about his book on Ebola
So relevant right now, especially the dangers of “control-over-care approach” - i.e. isolation & quarantine, but fails to ensure adequate clinical care to the sick

States are rolling out plans for their share of a $50 billion fund established by Congress to improve rural health care. In some states, the money may provoke rural hospitals to cut services.
Published during this pandemic, Paul Farmer’s new book, “Fevers, Feuds, And Diamonds,” is important, as it presents a critical dissection of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the lessons we can l...
