He emphasized that health is influenced by broader social & political factors than genetics & access to quality care. Health can be shaped by #narrative & right now the White House is pushing an exclusionary narrative. But reporters can shift that narrative. #healthinequity #healthpolicy #reporting

This #SysReview suggests that medical #crowdfunding is less a tool for mitigating health disparities, but rather reproduces #HealthInequity (barriers to #HealthCare access meet lack of financial resources and capacity to run campaigns):

When care is unequal, outcomes are unequal. No amount of personal responsibility can fix systemic harm.

All infectious & chronic diseases disproportionally affect the most vulnerable. We all need to care about this & work to address inequities in health.

Covid is a social justice issue. For many of the most vulnerable, the pandemic never ended.

People decided to 'go back to normal' because it's what they wanted, not because it was over.

Society's unwillingness to address Covid means those of us who care must work twice as hard to avoid infection
