I think viewing racism as a public health problem is valid. Would you be critical of the CDC talking about poverty’s effect on health? Lots of doctors really should be able to prescribe non-drug interventions to provide safe housing and low stress environments to their patients. Many health issues aren’t caused by bodily infections or failures. They’re caused by policy and society. Thus the CDC should be free to discuss politics when they think it’s the right solution to a disease.

- teaearlgraycold 2y agoI don't know if it's really a problem. Congress and the POTUS can always ignore a department's political requests. If there were to be guardrails they should involve a judge declaring the political statements aren't relevant to the department's mission.
