Holding Clinicians in Public Office Accountable to Professional Standards
Clinicians using governing authority to make public health policy are ethically obliged to draw upon scientific and clinical information that accords with professional standards. Just as the First Amendment does not protect clinicians who provide advice that fails to express standard care, so it does not protect clinician-officials who offer information to the public that a reasonable official would not provide
Judicial Review of Public Health Powers Since the Start of the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, officials in the United States at all levels of government utilized their legal authorities to impose a wide range of measures designed to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; the causative agent of COVID-19), including shutting down businesses, limiting the size of gatherings, requiring masking, and mandating vaccination. These orders and regulations were challenged in c…
The Challenges to Public Health Law in the Aftermath of Covid-19
Addressing the Need for Accountability in Public Health
Employer-Mandated Vaccination for Covid-19
When the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) for the first two vaccines for COVID-19, the United States' response to the pandemic entered a new phase. Initially, the greatest challenge is having enough doses of vaccine and administering them to all who want it. Yet even while many wait expectantly for their turn to be vaccinated, a significant minority of Americans are hesitant. Lack of informa…

The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
Karen L. Walloch The Antivaccine Heresy
Jacobson v. Massachusetts is the Rorschach test of constitutional law. Ever since the Supreme Court issued the decision in 1905, jurists and legal scholars have cited it for different, often inconsistent, principles, including the deference that courts should give to the state’s police power, the inclusion of public health within the social compact, the constitutionality of mandatory vaccination laws, a patient’s right under the Due Process Claus…
A panic foretold
This paper reconsiders the Ebola response in the US as a panic that was both predictable and problematic. Public health professionals and policy-makers have historically drawn attention to and prepared for emerging infectious diseases by raising the specter of catastrophe, generating fears that the media and politicians are often willing to amplify. Although this approach can increase awareness of and funding for global health threats, it also so…
Defending Public Health Regulations
The second of five commentaries on “Bloomberg's Health Legacy: Urban Innovator or Meddling Nanny?” from the September-October 2013
The Courts and Public Health
Public health practitioners are familiar with the general outlines of legal authority and with judicial standards for reviewing public health regulations. What may not be as familiar are 3 emerging judicial doctrines that pose considerable risks to public health initiatives. We explain the contentious series of judicial rulings that now place health departments’ broad grant of authority in jeopardy. One doctrine invokes the First Amendment to lim…

Implications for Tobacco Control of the Multistate Tobacco Settlement
The 1998 master settlement agreement between major tobacco manufacturers and the US states will have a profound effect on many tobacco industry practices and will significantly influence future settlements with the tobacco industry. This article analyzes the settlement's key provisions pertaining to youth sales, advertising, marketing, and lobbying. It also examines the ways in which the settlement restricts industry practices as well as the many…
