As my @petrieflomcenter.bsky.social piece suggests: "As guardians of professional knowledge, the professions, including the medical profession, can take various steps to assert their role. The professions should renew their focus on protecting expertise." petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/02/06/t...

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.

The plan to vaccinate all Americans, despite RFK Jr.

Claudia Haupt on combining "the horizontal effect of fundamental rights and militant democracy".

"This article argues that one mechanism without the other is normatively undesirable...". But "viewed together, they can be understood and operationalized as “democratic self-defense”".

The “Dr Oz Paradox” is back in the news: “In short, the law imposes liability for giving bad advice to one patient, while it permits giving bad advice to millions of YouTube or television viewers, which may result in significant physical harm.”

Dr. Oz was a defendant in a 2016 class action lawsuit over diet pills. What happened?

Oz's first confirmation hearing as nominee for CMS head is Friday. Back in 2016, Oz was named in a class action lawsuit alleging false advertising.
