    The role of charitable institutions in a market-based health system

    June 25, 2025

    Charitable institutions and voluntary donations from donors are an important part of the market-based health system. Despite the lack of a centralized structure, more and more institutions of this type are emerging with economic development. This also contributes positively to the development of appropriate ethical attitudes in society and shows that there is a real market alternative to formalized and…

    Those who fear disease most are most likely to prefer authoritarian regimes

    November 24, 2020

    Covid-19 has unleashed a pandemic of restrictive measures on the population. Lockdowns and mask mandates are becoming widespread. Libertarians have been vociferously denouncing covid-19 containment strategies as draconian. Evolutionary psychologists, however, argue that reactions in favor of government restrictions are the norm in environments where the public fears contamination. According to the parasitic stress theory popularized by Randy Thornhill and Corey Fincher, societies with a high…

    When it comes to masks, there is no “settled science”

    July 28, 2020

    As the “fifteen days to slow the spread” continues to extend indefinitely, the issue of mask mandates has become increasingly contentious. The debate has been exacerbated by the inconsistency of the recommendations of authorities (political, scientific, and imaginary). Early in the pandemic, both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) advised against the…

    State lockdowns are creating a mental health disaster

    May 16, 2020

    Although state lockdowns have served governors well as a heavy-handed show of force, the policies are a patent neglect of the many nuances inherent in human action. They have led to a host of unintended consequences, including the emergence of a new health crisis—a dangerously sharp rise in mental illness. Though states are gradually wading out of lockdown, the damage…

    Most Americans drink fluoridated water. Is that a good thing?

    November 17, 2017

    If you’re like many Americans, you drink fluoridated water without questioning its safety or efficacy. For decades municipalities have been adding fluoride to water supplies to reduce the incidence of tooth decay at the advice of numerous highly credentialed entities, including the World Health Organization, the U.S. Public Health Service, the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
