Excellent article about the self-inflicted decay of "public health"

[DrMA]

«From pronouncements from the UK’s chief medical officers last week on how many units of alcohol it is safe to drink (none apparently) to the ongoing panic-mongering about the non-existent dangers of vaping – which, I’d argue, is potentially the biggest contributor to improving the public’s health in a generation – public-health busybodies have been making a bit of a show of themselves recently. They seem hell-bent on banning anything that even looks like a threat to public health – even when it plainly isn’t.»

We need real public health

Loved the article, thank you for sharing it.
I believe that we are to blame for the paternalistic approach governments are taking every more often. I don't know though how to stop it.
