The point of a vaccine is for healthy people to, um, keep them healthy.

Yep, fluorides are also widely prevalent, and also naturally occurring in water supply. Association is not causation.
It's easier to point fingers, name and shame...
It's both a matter of relevant experience and competence. Neither criteria are met.
Generative AI is nothing less than a support tool. It has no capacity for complex intellectual thinking.
Laziness in political science...
Seems like my digital app and watch health tracker is on the money to do 7,500 steps daily as the goal. :)
100%.
“The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. If that does not suit you then get out.”
The problem is, the Trump Administration may well suppress such surveillance. We need to protect public health.
Thankyou for CHF for supporting the story on oral healthcare access and affordability in regional and rural areas.

Seems like an effective mental health prevention policy.
Australian Labor has retained government. I expect major oral health reforms to occur, as promised over the last term of government.
This is a call for all oral health advocates to keep them accountable.

Fluoride is naturally occurring, in water supplies without community water fluoridation....
New PhD paper.
Dental caries preventive interventions for children were NOT cost-effective.
The 'catch'? Results sensitive to including other healthcare costs and time horizon.
Many thanks for my PhD supervisors.

Oral health policy will remain low priority without a Commonwealth Chief Oral Health Officer.
The continued decline in public health.
Starting to get the drift!
That's a great idea!
Academics in this room, what are your thoughts on meaningful and appropriate acknowledged peer-reviewed? Should major edits that improves a paper so significantly, that peer-reviewers should be named as authors? Thoughts @docsamantha.bsky.social @profsarahbaker.bsky.social
Agree. Especially, an urgent needed Commonwealth Chief Dental Officer with relevant expertise in public health.
This is by definition, science...
Yep, I have deferred any immediate plans for US academics endeavours. It's not worth the hassle or risk.
The truth catches up...
Still time to vote for the People's Choice Poster Prize, 2025 Value-Based Health Care Congress.
You can find our poster towards the end of the page or search 'Deakin University'.
