Treating individs for disease is orders of magnitude more profitable than preventing illness they mass public health. Medicine has no spendingimit..people will mortgage a home to pay a surgeon. But PH is capped by voters.
I can never understand why medical care invariably takes priority over #PublicHealth & #SES. Our environment means so much to our health: clean water & air; vector, injury & tobacco control; surveillance & outbreak response.

Good points. Sadly, the WHO has endorsed the use of Wolbachia-infected Aedes (even after a paper by Chen, Dong, et al. 2015 showed it can infect humans without the nematode). Culex and migratory birds will carry this worldwide. Drs. can't test for it via a broad-range PCR screen?pic.twitter.com/cLxbXpbJAD
