Abstract:
To protect human life, science and public health need to guide public policy. We call for an end to the anti-science, anti-prevention, and anti-regulatory policies that have resulted in countless preexisting conditions and deaths. Reactive responses are not a substitute for primary prevention; we must invest in environmental and public health protections.
