Proposes the pragmatic changes we must make to survive COVID and
the worst of the new diseases on the horizon The Trump
administration's neglect and incompetence helped put half-a-million
Americans in the ground, dead from COVID-19. Joe Biden was elected
president in part on the promise of setting us on a science-driven
course correction, but, a little more than a year later, another
half-a-million Americans were killed by the virus. What happened?
In The Fault in Our SARS, evolutionary epidemiologist Rob Wallace
catalogs the Biden administration's failures in controlling the
outbreak. He also shows that, beyond matters of specific political
persona or party, it was a decades-long structural decline
associated with putting profits ahead of people that gutted U.S.
public health. COVID-19 isn't just an American tragedy. Each in its
own way, countries around the world following the "profit-first"
model failed their people. Global vaccination campaigns were
bottled up by efforts to protect pharmaceutical companies'
intellectual property rights. Economies were treated as somehow
more real than the people and ecologies upon which they depend.
Frustrated populations pushed back against lockdowns, abuses of
governmental trust, and, fair or not, the very concept of public
health. A social rot meanwhile wended its way into the heart of the
sciences that, tasked with controlling disease, serve the systems
that helped bring about COVID-19 in the first place. In The Fault
in Our SARS, Wallace and an array of invited contributors aim to
strip down the capitalist social psychology that in effect
protected the SARS virus. The team proposes instead new approaches
in health and ecology that appeal both to humanity's highest ideals
and the pragmatic changes we must make to survive COVID and the
worst of the new diseases on the horizon.
