美國公共衛生的真相時刻
2020年的布隆伯格美國健康峰會探討了新冠疫情對美國現有健康挑戰的深遠影響
Katie Pearce / 13小時前出版
周三,當被要求描述當今美國的公共衛生狀況時,一群美國主要的政策制定者和專家發表了一些簡明扼要的言論:「危機」。「支離破碎」。「不公平的」。「不穩定的」。
正如慈善家麥可·r·布隆伯格在虛擬2020年布隆伯格美國健康峰會上所說,現在是公共衛生領域的關鍵時刻。前紐約市市長、布隆伯格慈善基金會(Bloomberg Philanthropies)創始人布隆伯格說:「沒有任何一場危機像COVID-19那樣暴露出美國健康的斷層線。」
此次峰會聚集了1100多名在線人士,與會的有衛生機構負責人、市長和美國知名公共衛生人物,包括前疾控中心主任湯姆·弗裡登(Tom Frieden)和當選總統拜登新冠肺炎工作組聯合主席戴維·凱斯勒(David Kessler)。作為約翰霍普金斯大學布隆伯格公共衛生學院的一部分,布隆伯格美國健康倡議組織主辦了這次活動。
美國國家過敏和傳染病研究所(National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)所長安東尼福西(Anthony Fauci)談到了加劇美國新冠肺炎疫情的政治兩極分化問題。他說,「在我們國家出現巨大分歧的時候,這種分歧與新冠肺炎完全無關。」「所以我認為,你把固有的分歧和選舉帶來的壓力和緊張結合起來——這是對公共衛生危機來說可能出現的最糟糕的組合,因為……你需要的是大家朝著同一個方向齊心協力。」
彭博社強調了目前疫情的嚴重程度,本周美國新增新冠病例1500萬。他說:「就在我現在跟你們講話的這一分鐘,至少有一個美國人會死於這種病毒。今天一整天的每一分鐘,有些人的配偶、祖父母或一生的朋友也會死於可預防的死亡。」「所以我們不能坐等疫苗的出現。今天早上,我們必須再次致力於與所有的錯誤信息作鬥爭,並繼續做我們現在能做的一切來拯救生命。」
峰會探討了新冠肺炎危機加劇美國現有健康挑戰的方式,包括暴力、阿片類藥物流行和根深蒂固的種族不平等。
「當新冠病毒就像海洋中的掠食者,而你已經被淹死時,僅僅關注流行病的恢復是非常困難的。在COVID流行的時候,貧困的有色人種社區已經在努力生存,」巴爾的摩以年輕人為中心的非營利組織HeartSmiles的創始人喬妮·霍利菲爾德(Joni Holifield)說。
約翰·霍普金斯衛生公平中心主任麗莎·庫珀討論了公共衛生領導人在減輕對COVID-19疫苗的不信任方面可以發揮的作用。「不要過度承諾,不要表現得好像我們什麼都知道。她說:「要如實告訴他們我們對疫苗生產過程的了解,以及我們是否會向家人或朋友推薦疫苗,或者我們自己是否願意站出來說,『我願意接種疫苗。』」
周三的活動還宣布,布隆伯格慈善基金會和美國市長會議(U.S. Conference of Mayors)之間建立了一項新的合作關係,以幫助城市領導人為新冠病毒疫苗在當地的分發做好準備。彭博公共衛生學院的專家將支持這項工作,提供有關病毒和疫苗的最新信息。
與彭博美國健康計劃(Bloomberg American Health Initiative)本身一樣,這項新舉措也是該校支持全球公共健康的長期遺產的一部分。JHU校長羅納德·丹尼爾斯(Ronald J. Daniels)在講話中回憶了該校在1918年的起源,當時西班牙流感席捲全球。他說:「在那之後的幾十年裡,學校勇敢地面對了幾乎每一次隨之而來的公共衛生危機,包括最近的COVID-19大流行。」

A MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR PUBLIC HEALTH IN AMERICA
The 2020 Bloomberg American Health Summit examines COVID-19's far-ranging impact on existing health challenges in the U.S.
Katie Pearce / Published 13 hours ago
When asked on Wednesday to describe the state of public health in America today, a group of leading U.S. policymakers and experts chimed in with some encapsulating words: "Crisis." "Fragmented." "Inequitable." "Precarious."
As philanthropist Michael R. Bloomberg said during the virtual 2020 Bloomberg American Health Summit, the present is a moment of truth for the field of public health. "No crisis has exposed the fault lines of American health like COVID-19," said Bloomberg, former New York City mayor and founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies.
The summit, which gathered an online crowd of more than 1,100, featured health agency directors, mayors, and prominent U.S. public health figures including former CDC director Tom Frieden, and David Kessler, co-chair of President-elect Biden's COVID-19 task force. The Bloomberg American Health Initiative, part of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, hosted the event.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, addressed the political polarization exacerbating COVID-19 in the U.S. The pandemic evolved "at a time when there was just an extraordinary amount of divisiveness in our country, totally unrelated to COVID-19," he said. "So I think you combine inherent divisiveness with the stress and strain of an election year—it was the worst possible combination you could have for a public health crisis, because … what you need is everybody pulling together in the same direction."
Bloomberg underscored the current severity of the pandemic, with the U.S. eclipsing 15 million cases of coronavirus this week. "In just the minute I'm talking to you now, at least one American will die from the virus, and every minute all day long today, somebody's spouse or grandparent or lifelong friend will also die a preventable death," he said. "So we can't sit back and wait for a vaccine. This morning, we'll have to recommit to fighting all the misinformation and keep doing everything we can to save lives right now."
The summit examined ways the COVID-19 crisis has compounded existing health challenges in the U.S., including violence, the opioid epidemic, and deep-seated racial inequities.
"It's so hard to focus just on pandemic recovery when COVID is like the predator in the ocean, but you have already drowned. Poor communities of color were already trying to survive when COVID hit," said Joni Holifield, founder of HeartSmiles, a youth-focused Baltimore nonprofit.
Lisa Cooper, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, discussed the role public health leaders can play in easing distrust around COVID-19 vaccines. "Don't overpromise, don't act like we know everything. Tell them really truthfully what we know about the process of vaccines … and whether or not we would recommend the vaccine to our family members or friends, or whether we ourselves would be willing to stand up and say, 'I would take the vaccine,'" she said.
Wednesday's event also announced a new partnership between Bloomberg Philanthropies and the U.S. Conference of Mayors to help city leaders prepare for local distributions of the coronavirus vaccine as it rolls out. Experts at the Bloomberg School of Public Health will support the effort, providing the latest information about the virus and vaccines.
The new effort, like the Bloomberg American Health Initiative itself, is part of the school's long legacy of supporting global public health. During his remarks, JHU President Ronald J. Daniels recalled the school's origins in 1918, as the Spanish flu ripped across the world. "In the decades since, the school has courageously confronted virtually every subsequent public health crisis, including most recently the COVID-19 pandemic," he said.
