| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, September 22, I'm Albert Molar, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis |
| 0:11.0 | of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.8 | We have often discussed the fact that public health is something of a misnomer. |
| 0:17.7 | It is an extremely ideologically driven field of academic research and also a public policy. |
| 0:24.1 | Now let me be clear, I am thankful for every advance made in the name of public health, |
| 0:29.0 | for every disease eradicated, for every treatment that is developed, but we need to understand that the practice of medicine and the discipline of public health are two very, very different things. |
| 0:40.0 | And as a matter of fact, the very origin of the field known as public health is actually a subset of the social sciences rather than of medical science. |
| 0:49.0 | But nonetheless, it uses so often the authority, the imprimatur would be the Latin word for the medical profession |

| 1:24.0 | Let's just ask the question, is the pandemic the COVID-19 pandemic over or is it not? |
| 1:30.0 | And the interesting thing about this is that the catalyst for this conversation is none other than the president of the United States Joe Biden |
| 1:37.0 | who won an appearance over the weekend on the CBS News Program 60 Minutes announced that the pandemic is over. Now all kinds of |
| 1:46.0 | response to that. The editorial board of the Washington Post has said to the |
| 1:49.1 | president no it's not over. The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times |
| 1:52.2 | by the way I don't know how many doctors on either of those editorial boards came back and said, |
| 1:56.8 | no, the pandemics not over. Many people, indeed perhaps even a majority of those in his own party at least in terms of |
| 2:05.0 | national leadership they don't really want it to be over and the president |
