Easy to dump on headlines, but nah, vaccines have ever and always been political in almost every conceivable sense of the term #WellYesButActuallyNo #HistPubHealth

Vaccines used to be apolitical. Now they're a campaign issue. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/11/02/1133097215/vaccines-election-campaign-midterms?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social

Hi all -- new to Mastodon. I'm a professor who studies public health ethics, public health law, and history of medicine & public health (19th c. Americanist).

I do policy work, teach, design programs and curricula, and work closely with students.

Otherwise: I train Brazilian jiujitsu (about 9 years), love Star Wars, Batman, and coffee. I like to bake, esp. bread.
