#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

My new book exists in print! For now just a few copies in my editor's office. The rest will ship Feb 2025. Preorder online and save 30% with discount code UCPSAVE30. If you teach an applicable course, you can also request a desk copy to help you decide on adoption: www.ucpress.edu/books/public...
A thick paperback book rests on a wooden table, presumably in my editor's office, where it awaits being placed into a box and shipped to me. The cover is mostly light blue and reads "Public Health Law & Ethics: Power, Duty, Restraint by Lindsay F. Wiley and Lawrence O. Gostin. Along the top edge of the cover is a photograph providing a bird's eye view of about 100 people receiving and administering vaccinations en mass in a large open room.

The main response antiabortion folks have to stories like this is: "The law doesn't apply to miscarriage!" That is partly true. Texas and most states exclude "the removal of a dead fetus" from the definition of abortion. But this exclusion has utterly failed to protect miscarriage care. Here's why:
