The Rule of Rescue
I ' m going to do a series on some of the fundamentals of public health. I ' ll start with a concept called the Rule of Rescue, a term coined by bioethicist Albert R. Jonsen in 1986.[i]When a child falls down a well, and the rescue is difficult, the attention of the entire country may focus on a remote small town until the drama is resolved. But children in low income countries die of preventable causes every five minutes, and few Americans seem to care. You might chalk this up to racism, and you ’d be partly right, but white American children also die of preventable causes every day, and it gets little attention.The Rul...

Penalties for Violating OSHA ’s Proposed “Vaccine Mandate”
Ryan Bourne and Brad SubramaniamThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) last weekreleased requirements for the “vaccine mandate” President Joe Biden announced in September. The “emergency temporary standard” (ETS) has since been halted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. But if the standard ultimately comes into force on January 4, it will apply to employers with at least 100 employee s, requiring them:to develop, implement, and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policyor elseenforce a policy allowing employees who are not fully vaccinated to elect to undergo weekly ...

The Vaccine Brawl – A Legal Battle in Process
By MIKE MAGEE
The power to mandate vaccines was litigated and resolved over a century ago. Justice John Marshall Harlin, a favorite of current Chief Justice Roberts, penned the 7 to 2 majority opinion in 1905’s Jacobson v. Massachusetts. Its impact was epic.
In 1905, Massachusetts was one of 11 states that required compulsory vaccinations. The Rev. Henning Jacobson, a Lutheran minister, challenged the city of Cambridge, MA, which had passed a local law requiring citizens to undergo smallpox vaccination or pay a $5 fine. Jacobson and his son claimed they had previously had bad reactions to the vaccine and refused to...

Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results for a First Generation Stem Cell Therapy to Treat Frailty
First generation stem cell therapies are simple in concept, a matter of transplanting cells taken from person A into person B in the hope of producing benefits, but the implementation hides a great deal of complexity. Tissue is provided by donors, cells are selected from that tissue, the resulting population of cells is expanded in culture, their behavior and state may be modified in simple ways via the addition of factors, the cells are manufactured into doses that can be frozen, and then injected into patients. For every one of those steps there are many, many different approaches, refinements, and epicycles.

Doctor-Patient Relationships: I Don ’t Babysit – I Want to Empower
By HANS DUVEFELT
I have known doctors that cultivated a dependence among their patients by suggesting their health and safety depended on regularly scheduled visits and laboratory testing for what seemed to me stable, chronic conditions. People would come in every three months, year after year, to review cholesterol numbers, potassium levels and glucose or blood pressure logs and have a more or less complete physical exam every time. Patients would also get scheduled for rechecks of ear infections and other simple conditions I always thought patients can assess themselves.
Compare the effort on the part of the physic...

Public Health Nurses Once Again Asking, “What Are They Thinking?”
Whitney Thurman
Karen Johnson
By KAREN JOHNSON and WHITNEY THURMAN
One recent Friday night, we huddled with our colleagues in the pouring rain at a movie theater parking lot– our cars packed with supplies for our mobile vaccine clinic— trying to find someone who wanted an extra dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine before it expired. Five months ago, we would have been inundated with people desperate for that extra dose. But that has changed now that the most willing and able segments of the population have largely been vaccinated.
Amidst this backdrop of slowing vaccination rates in the U.S. and many mil...

How Can We Encourage Bodily Autonomy in Our Children?
Bodily autonomy is the right for a person to be in control of their own body. This concept applies to both boys and girls and is something that all parents should teach their kids. When children understand their rights, they’ll be more willing to respect themselves and others. They’ll also feel more confident and secure in their own bodies
Here are a few ways parents can encourage bodily autonomy and help their kids grow into the strong, independent adults they were always meant to be.
Teach Anatomic Names
One of the best ways to encourage bodily autonomy is to teach your kids the correct anatomic names for ev...
