A couple of things . . . .
Just to be clear, and I say this in no uncertain terms with the backing of the CDC, FDA, Dr. Peter Hotez, and innumerable other experts,the Surgeon General of Florida is a quack. This is not debatable, it is a fact. However, I didn ' t need all these other experts to confirm it because I am qualified to figure it out for myself. I am an actual expert on clinical research, and I can tell when a paper is bullshit. I am an academic editor for a medical journal and I peer review publications all the time. So don ' t try to tell me what to think about this, if you are actually completely ignorant of these matters. With tha...

Valuing health: why prioritising population health is essential to prosperity
This report calls on the government to consider the health of the population as crucial to sustainable economic growth, rather than being dependent on a prosperous economy. Raising alarm about rapidly declining population health and widening health inequalities, the report identifies that the nation is facing a ‘ticking time-bomb’ of ill health with current government policies insufficient to meet the scale of the challenge. To-date, principal discourse centres upon healthcare and treatments, rather than developing and sustaining trajectories that preserve health.ReportPress release (Source: Health Management Specialist Library)
