the medical business, and business it is, now begins to tighten the controls on what gets medical attention and under what conditions. the hypocritic oath seems to be lost;

America seems to have forgotten what the term ‘public health’ truly means. Numerous examples of counties/cities nationwide have slapped the label of ‘threat to public health’ onto just about anything imaginable. For example: 

• Racism? Yep, we can make that a public health issue. The CDC will even defend such a decision, saying that racism is dangerous to the public’s health (I wonder how they feel about communism). [source]
• We don’t view crime as a public health issue. Nope. Guns are the problem. We need to label them as a public health threat as well. [source]
• Masculinity? Yeah, we can make that a public health threat too. [source]
• Climate change? Why, yes! Absolutely! [source]
• Misinformation? Yep. [source 1 – source 2] 

While you can undoubtedly see how all of this is ridiculous, let me point out the true public health threat that America has not come to terms with yet.
