Public Health: an unhealthy conceit: an unhealthy conceit
This book nails the nonsense of public health, from trans affirmation to COVID-19 to climate change.
Dr Monique Ryan, the Federal Member for Kooyong and a TEAL, wants to name killer heatwaves. She claims that 'heatwaves are Australia's most deadly climate hazard.'
That is some leap of logic, but many medical professionals use their credentials to push into non-medical matters.
Public health types who want to save the world will use all means necessary, particularly taxpayers' money and government fiat, to achieve the population health outcomes they define.
The result is a highly prescriptive environment in which health is valued above all else and health practitioners rule the polity. Society is not a hospital ward or a medical clinic.
This book not only names the culprits but also provides a plan of action to defeat them.
