  Having more inputs from a diverse set of experience and life experiences always makes for better outcomes. If all we did was listen to public health “experts” we’d never ditch the masks.

  Her book "Expecting Better" came highly recommended from multiple pediatricians - it's among the most trusted books about pregnancy. And I would strongly recommend almost anyone read it - one of the main premises of the book is making reasonable risk assessments from complicated or conflicting research.

  With Covid potential shutdowns, our heath policy is very much an economic decision. They are increasingly overlapping. It would be great if public health policies consulted more industries.

  The public health community presumably has some expertise as to the health consequences of certain policies. However, it has no expertise wrt the social or economic consequences of said policies.
