Corruption in health care: when the mice mind the cheese
That the United States spends the most on health care is unsurprising. What’s questionable is paying so much for the worst health care system amongst high-income countries and being far behind many countries that could not be considered high-income by any stretch of the imagination. Other than doing brilliantly at mammograms and seasonal flu vaccines,Read more …Corruption in health care: when the mice mind the cheese originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Naming the anti-Asian racism of U.S. COVID-19 policy
It started as the “Chinese virus.” Then the “kung flu.” Then came the boycotts of Chinatowns, the rise in harassment, assaults, and murders. The recognition of hate and discrimination against Asian Americans was long overdue. However, anti-Asian racism doesn’t just manifest in hate speech or violence; it has undermined the U.S. COVID-19 policy response.

Looking back on 2 years of uncertainty, adversity and more than a few silver linings
Since the beginning of COVID-19, we have recognized the truth of philosopher George Santayana’s oft-quoted 1905 writing—“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”— and looked for lessons from the 1918 Spanish flu, the deadliest pandemic of the 20th century. Much was different, yet so much the same. ThereRead more …Looking back on 2 years of uncertainty, adversity and more than a few silver linings originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

COVID ’s lab leak theory obscures zoonosis and progression
Even as COVID-19 is found in apes, big cats, minks, domestic cats, other small mammals, and now in U.S. deer, some don ’t want to let go of the insultingly simplistic “lab leak” theory.

COVID-19 recovery? My long-haul experience with infectious illness suggests disability.
People who say, “I’ve recovered from COVID-19, what’s the big deal?” are wrong. I have lived with long-term disability stemming from acute infectious illnesses like COVID-19 and polio.
