<p>In this episode, I share my thoughts following a conversation with fellow public health professionals. I talk about the challenges we face in urban public health, the relationship between socio-economic factors and crime, and the complexities surrounding homelessness. </p>
<p>I also explore how political ideologies, both conservative and liberal, influence our approaches to critical issues like vaccination mandates, gun safety, and mental health. </p>
<p>Drawing on my personal and professional experiences, I discuss the often difficult balance between scientific evidence and political biases in shaping public health policies.</p>
