Competitive interdependence
This article investigates Canada's health product regulatory authority, Health Canada (HC), and other major national regulators' responses to COVID-19. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with HC officials and secondary data on the activities of other major regulators, including the European Medicines Agency, the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and the United States Food and Drug Administration, we show tha…
Investigating attributes of stigma towards individuals who did not receive a Covid-19 vaccine
Public sector innovation and the constraints of 'platform thinking
Scientists must recognize platform thinking to prevent it from unduly shaping the trajectory of biomedical research. Political and scientific leaders should invest in public-sector capacity so that promising technologies can be brought to the public without need for an industry partner in every instance
Introduction
L es anthropologues médicaux situent depuis longtemps leur travail sur les lieux de la maladie, où les personnes et leurs proches vivent des situations d'inconfort physique et émotionnel provoquées par des évènements sociaux, politiques, biologiques et environnementaux.Les articles rassemblés dans cette édition thématique d'Anthropologica se concentrent sur la manière dont les puissants systèmes mondiaux et les économies politiques affectent le
Let's say it wears an Ebola Coat, but it's not Ebola
Focusing on how disease, health and vaccine research take on different forms, meanings and interpretations in diverse contexts, we examine the use of rhetoric to recruit people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa for an Ebola vaccine clinical trial. Conducted after the West African Ebola outbreak in a country that had not been affected by Ebola, the urgency, relevance and materiality of disease, health and biomedical research takes on different…
Introduction
Vaccins imparfaits
Si aucun vaccin ne peut offrir une protection totale, un haut niveau de réglementation en matière de sécurité, d'efficacité et de qualité est fondamental pour la confiance du public et l'adoption des vaccins en tant qu'outils essentiels de la santé publique mondiale. Cet article traite d'une préoccupation croissante au sujet des vaccins sous-optimaux « imparfaits » qui menacent les interventions d'urgence en cas de pandémie, ainsi que les program…
Leaky Vaccines
While no vaccine can provide 100 percent protection, a high standard of regulatory safety, efficacy and quality is essential for public trust and the uptake of vaccines as essential global public health tools. This article addresses a growing concern that suboptimal "leaky" vaccines threaten emergency response to pandemics as well as routine public health programs. Agile regulatory standards now advance earlier approval of vaccines and therapeuti…
Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy
Early in COVID-19 vaccine rollout, expert recommendations about vaccination while pregnant and breastfeeding changed rapidly. This paper addresses the (re)production of gendered power relations in these expert discourses and recommendations in Canada. We collected texts about COVID-19 vaccine use in pregnancy (N = 52) that Canadian health organizations (e.g., professional societies, advisory groups, health authorities) and vaccine manufacturers m…
“If I'm a naturopath, It's because I trust nature above everything else”
Canadians and Quebecers increasingly consult complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners in parallel with biomedical providers. The close relationship between vaccine hesitancy and CAM use remains under explored in Western countries. We present the results of a qualitative study conducted among one of Quebec's most used CAM approaches: naturopathy. Using Boholm and Corvellec's relational theory of risk to illustrate naturopaths' co…
The unintended consequences of Covid-19 vaccine policy
Vaccination policies have shifted dramatically during COVID-19 with the rapid emergence of population-wide vaccine mandates, domestic vaccine passports and differential restrictions based on vaccination status. While these policies have prompted ethical, scientific, practical, legal and political debate, there has been limited evaluation of their potential unintended consequences. Here, we outline a comprehensive set of hypotheses for why these p…
Public health communication in Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study suggests that increased federal guidance with wider jurisdictional collaboration backed by transparent evidence could improve the effectiveness of communication practices by instilling public trust and adherence with public health measures. Effective communication should be transparent, supported by reliable evidence, prompt, clear, consistent, and sensitive to diverse values. Improved communication training, established engagement inf…
Nova Scotia Strong
This study provides insights into Nova Scotians' unique experiences with COVID-19 PHM. Provincial public health experts and government leaders communicated PHM with various levels of success, Nova Scotia Strong, a sentiment of unity and communitarianism that sprang from public response to tragic events. Future work should aim to include under-represented communities to facilitate broader inclusion
Stigma and blame related to Covid-19 pandemic
From sandbox to pandemic
Anthropologists Answer Four Questions about the Pandemic
Canada went into lockdown on March 19, 2020, announcing wide economic and financial support programs. Only essential services were open; the streets were empty. Phased reopenings began in late April 2020, but cases began rising as predicted when autumn brought people indoors. On January 14, 2021, when the death toll worldwide passed two million, more than 689,000 Canadians had been infected with SARS-Cov-2, and Canada ranked fifty-third in worldw…
A public health timeline to prepare for Covid-19 vaccines in Canada
Ebola vaccine innovation
Global vaccine development is driven by logics that can run counter to local understandings, needs, and contexts. In a global industrial complex, dependent on financial market logics that prioritize private enterprise, highly promising innovative health products developed in public laboratories may be shelved and revealed only when market opportunities attract investment interest. Such an opportunity arrived with the WHO declaration of a Public H…
Lueurs et leurres de la santé globale
Le projet Vaccins Méningite a permis à des millions d’Africains de disposer d’un vaccin peu coûteux, le MenAfriVac®, grâce à un transfert de technologie. Les récits de la biomédecine en ont fait une histoire à succès, un mythe sociotechnique anonyme et collectif dans lequel le MenAfriVac® revêt une efficacité magique. Les promoteurs du vaccin ont choisi la rhétorique de l’élimination de la méningite par un vaccin, occultant un contexte épidémiolo…
Exploring the post-genomic world
Richard Lewontin proposed that the ability of a scientific field to create a narrative for public understanding garners it social relevance. This article applies Lewontin's conceptual framework of the functions of science (manipulatory and explanatory) to compare and explain the current differences in perceived societal relevance of genetics/genomics and proteomics. We provide three examples to illustrate the social relevance and strong cultural …
Ambiguous Capture
The primary health care approach advanced at Alma Ata to address social determinants of health was replaced by selective health care a year later at Bellagio. Subsequently, immunization was endorsed as a cost-effective technical intervention to combat targeted infectious diseases. Multilateral efforts to collaborate on immunization as a universal public health good ambiguously capture the interests of the world's governments as well as private, p…
Risk, choice and the ‘girl vaccine’
The marketing of Gardasil® and CervarixTM vaccines for the prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) targeted pre-sexual girls and cervical cancer, representing young women as practicing ‘decision autonomy’ in acquiring the ‘facts‘ about HPV and cancer. We challenge this overly simple explanatory model of vaccine choice. Through interviews with vaccine scientists and public health nurses in Canada, we illustrate the clinical, political and practic…
Challenges to immunization
To provide effective public health interventions, it is necessary to consider the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of hard to reach, high risk groups. Our study shows that homeless youth are interested and capable in discussing immunization. Active targeting of homeless youth for public health immunization programs is needed. Working collaboratively with non-profit organizations that assist homeless youth provides an opportunity to …
Is consent for research genuinely informed? Using decision aid tools to obtain informed consent in the global south
Gaining informed consent among marginalized groups that include decisionally incapacitated individuals and those outside of the researcher's own geo-social and ethnic background still challenges many researchers. We suggest that there is a need for consideration of a different approach to research ethics in international settings. Based on extensive field work in West Africa on medical knowledge transfers and patient–healer relationships, this pa…
Rendre évident
Dans le champ des études sociales de la science, les régimes de régulation du risque appréhendés selon une approche technocratique sont critiqués pour leur attention insuffisante au « public », point de vue épistémologique socialement situé qui pourtant est davantage en mesure d'articuler les préoccupations du monde réel aux implications (collectives) du risque. Il semble qu'on ait répondu à cette critique dans plusieurs pays en modernisant les r…

Memorabilities
This paper reports the findings of a one-year qualitative investigation of the memories and activities of people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. We observed and interviewed 58 patient-carer dyads during home visits. The progression of the dementia symptoms was documented, and information was collected on social-relational events, as well as accounts of awareness, attention and anticipation, which are often neglected in research that focuses on…

So Many Bricks in the Wall
Adolescents are sexual beings, and many are sexually active. They are very often able to develop the knowledge and skills required to protect their sexual health, and to take the action required for doing so. Unfortunately, many experience barriers to accessing information through school-based sexual health education. The research outlined here represents an effort to better understand the origins of barriers which prevent young women from receiv…

Facilitating Regulation
Assessment of factors associated with complete immunization coverage in children aged 12-23 months
BACKGROUND: The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is still in need of improvement. In Burkina Faso in 2003, for example, the Nouna health district had an immunization coverage rate of 31.5%, compared to the national rate of 52%. This study identifies specific factors associated with immunization status in Nouna health district in order to advance improved intervention strategies in this district and in those with similar environmental and so…
Genetically Modified Organisms as Public Goods
This paper presents an exploration of biotechnology transfer and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as “public goods” for Colombia. Plant biotechnology tenders the promise of providing “public goods” in the form of increased agricultural productivity, economic development, and food security. However, these each have the potential to benefit different groups of people. Colombian scientists recognize this when discussing the uses of genetic modi…
