Essentially, and unlike "health equity" research, "health disparities" research can be used (or misused) to promote a MAHA narrative that blames people for their own "bad" health. 3/

The real question is--why do so many Americans believe the MAHA message, despite it being so obviously false?
And I'd argue--it's because that message offers both a sense of control in the face of uncertainty and a sense of moral superiority as a reward for good health.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.”
That is dangerously false.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
