Health stories that concern me as a former Surgeon General, but that the media isn’t talking about:
- The looming threat of bird flu
- The impacts of the current political backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, especially in rural and veteran communities
- The long-term effects of Covid and the toll of repeat infections
- The need for better vaccines and therapeutics for Covid
- The infectious disease and health equity implications of global warming
- The overwhelming medical debt faced by Americans and its impact on health and the economy
- The ongoing opioid epidemic, particularly its impact on black Americans
- The challenges of access and affordability surrounding the highly effective drug Ozempic and the rise of compounding pharmacies
What did I miss? 🤷🏽♂️
