On This Day | Thanks for the Healing Agents of Modern Medicine

As The Health News Institute recently pointed out, at least 845,000 men, women and children are alive today, thanks to healing agents which even a decade ago were still unknown.

Why We Chose It

As we enter a new era of leadership in public health, it’s important to remember how we got here. This was from the era when vaccines were improving lives on a scale we now take for granted. It’s also important to note The Health News Institute was a pharmaceutical industry marketing mechanism. And even our local editor bought into the fact that it was ‘news’. As we chart a new course, hopefully we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water — whatever past wrongs have been perpetrated.
