Drawing on databases of cases filed, news reports, and other sources, Susan M. Sterett argues that governing during the pandemic must include the human institutions intertwined with the effects of the virus. Those institutions reveal problems well beyond the reach of technical expertise. Failures in private insurance as a way of governing risk, conflicts about the primacy of religion, government authority, and health, are problems that predated the pandemic and will persist in future disasters.

A propósito de las vacunas, lo que más circula por internet es la desinformación. La de quienes rechazan todo tipo de avances científicos y ponen en riesgo al resto de la humanidad, pero también la de aquellas fuentes que deben ofrecer neutralidad y objetividad. Existen vacunas muy beneficiosas, que han salvado millones de vidas y todos deberíamos recibir. La eficacia o conveniencia de otras resulta dudosa. Tanto así que muchos profesionales de la salud no las aplican.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others. Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed.

Psychische Gesundheit ist politisch. In Ländern wie Deutschland und Österreich können wir uns auf eine medizinische Notversorgung verlassen. Gibt es einen Unfall, wird ein Rettungswagen gerufen, Patient*innen werden in ein Krankenhaus gebracht und schnellstmöglich versorgt. Selbstverständlich, oder?

Bringing together research on incentives, social norms, and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation.

Giroir, MD, was among the first federal leaders tapped to handle the reintegration of US citizens from Wuhan, China, in the earliest days of what became the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gomez argues that the challenge lies with the strategic politics of junk food industries in these countries.

Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system.

Le pandemie sono grandi eventi trasformazionali. Si abbattono su sistemi che si credono consolidati, aprendo crepe e facendo tremare tutto. Destabilizzano, insomma. Suscitano un sentimento ambivalente: paura e incertezza da una parte, ma anche meraviglia, perché all'interno delle loro pieghe ci sono enormi opportunità.

Wir Menschen, werden von Geburt an, durch die Gesellschaft, die Film- und Unterhaltungsindustrie aber auch in Schulen und anderen Bildungseinrichtungen, gebetsmühlenartig auf Virentheorien konditioniert, die durch ständige Wiederholungen als Realität wahrgenommen, und nicht weiter hinterfragt werden.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo shares the inspiring story of how he came to be who he is. After experiencing abuse as a child, Dr. Ladapo was incapable of connecting emotionally with other people. He was dissociated from virtually everything in his life and numbly powered through college, medical school, and residency to become a doctor and university professor. It wasn’t until he fell in love with his wife that he was forced to come face-to-face with the enormous emotional and spiritual disruption caused by his deeply buried trauma.
