health policy

I have great respect for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Especially when it comes to fighting infectious disease, those two organizations are staffed with real-world superheroes.

It’s early, but The Atlantic is already in the running for worst science article of the year.

It hasn't been a good year for U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams.

Somehow, it's election season again. Although the general election isn't until November 2020, campaigning began in early 2019. Basically, in America, the presidential campaign cycle is roughly two years long. This is insane.

In the wake of over 1,000 injuries and nearly two dozen deaths linked to vaping (probably all or most of which were due to misusing the devices), the public is right to be concerned about the safety of e-cigarettes.

Teenagers are rebellious and they do stupid things. This is a fact of life that we have to accept, whether we like it or not.

The other day, CNN hosted a 7-hour long climate change town hall for the Democratic presidential candidates. This, of course, isn't the only scientific topic of relevance to Americans.

Vaping devices such as e-cigarettes should not be used for fun. Getting oneself addicted to nicotine is not a smart idea. That is why these devices should not be used by non-smokers, particularly young people.

Since our founding in 1978, ACSH has stood for evidence-based science and health in combination with free markets and individual liberty.

It's difficult to predict what sort of nonsense is going to come out of San Francisco.
