Even with improved sanitation, nutrition, & treatments, people in the U.S. were still becoming infected, hospitalized, and scarred for life by the ravages of infectious diseases. Vaccines added an essential layer of protection that helped us nearly eliminate diphtheria, measles, polio, & more.

By adding a layer of treatments and tools such as ventilators, we lower the risk of death from infectious diseases. But they can’t save everyone, and they don’t prevent infectious diseases from spreading.

Nutrition is another layer of protection. Nutrient deficiencies weaken your immune system. In late 1800s/early 1900s London, improved nutrition did not correlate with the spread of infectious diseases, but did correlate with decreased severity of measles and mumps infections.

Public health is like cake. Cake has layers. Public health has layers. And when we stack the layers of public health – think combining sanitation + nutrition + medical treatments + vaccines + addressing social & environmental factors that impact health – we get to enjoy more birthday cakes.
