Ohio's governor, Mike DeWine, is attempting to pass public health initiatives
through the legislature.
In order to do so, the governor has to eschew the term, "Public Health," because the term is toxic among his fellow Republicans.
While much of this article is a vapid beat sweetener, this morsel of data is
important.
It is not just rent wing Republicans who find the very concept of public
health to be offensive.
Your find the same among many mainstream Democrats, as well as the public
health establishment, particularly at the CDC, where the idea of masking,
distancing, improved ventilation, etc. which address the problem without
generating big pharma profits, are as welcome as a fart in a deep sea diving
suit.
Unfortunately, at this time, where we are seeing the apotheosis of free-market
fundamentalism, where the profit motive has gone from being
ONE source of innovation to being THE ONLY POSSIBLE
source of innovation in any endeavour.
These free-market Mousketeers are destroying our society.
