We discuss the challenge of getting public health messages to compete with economic messaging in a culture that is predisposed to treat the market with primacy.��

Finally, we turn to a therapist to ask about strategies for moving beyond the anger that many feel with the resurgence of serious illness and deaths with the Delta wave �����something that could have been prevented with a higher percentage of vaccination.��
