Canada’s doctor shortage is no accident It was policy.

Public healthcare is not going to survive without public oversight.

There's no reason for it. Just that the public that benefits from it isn't allowed to see what goes on under the hood. We're prevented from looking out for our own interests by people who insist they're entitled to do it for us.

Within each category, there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category.

Yes. And all the Public Health officials who endorsed the "you do you" vibes-based approach to COVID? You helped support this. You fed the fire.

Jay Bhattacharya tried to explain why he is destroying Nobel Prize winning research by appealing to a lack of trust.

It didn’t go well for him.

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

From Long Flu to Long COVID: A Brief History of Postviral Illness | Think Global Health Despite centuries of examples, long-term maladies after flu and other viruses remain absent from mainstream policy

Think Global Health: 'From Long Flu to Long COVID: A Brief History of Postviral Illness'

'Despite centuries of examples, long-term maladies after flu and other viruses remain absent from mainstream policy'

And, if what you say is true, doesn’t it mean that these PH leaders and practitioners were — and are — involved in the undermining the importance of evidence in official narrative creation / policy?

All that said, I agree with your observations for the most part (I’d debate timeline, but it’s not that important).

Importantly: without accountability, course-correction seems unlikely as political, professional and personal capital has been invested in invented narratives.

This can take the form of defunding extreme-weather prediction science, health leaders lying about the existence of a virus (S1TO), or a single medical professional denying LC risk. The results are the same: society-shaping narratives freed from the constraints of evidence.

But now, it appears this paradigm is fracturing. Although many forces are at work, I'd like to focus on those whose literal job is to protect it. Those responsible for preserving evidence-based narrative creation now replace inconvenient stories with convenient ones, removing facts from the process.

Many of the interventions that led to this started small — say, with a single activist (e.g., Semmelweis) — but over time they became embedded in and protected by institutions. Although far from perfect, I think this is likely one of humanity's greatest achievements.

For most of human history, society-shaping stories have been created largely at the whims of those with power. But, for a brief moment in time, these stories were strongly influenced by scientific evidence.
