Author Pam Long introduces her latest essay, Civil Disobedience Is Required in Future “Public Health Emergencies.” In this article, Long offers valuable insights on how to engage in self-advocacy during potential future public health crises. The piece addresses concerns that public health emergencies have been and may continue to be utilized as a means to curtail personal freedoms. Long further underscores the perceived escalation of what is considered absurd and unnecessary in the realm of public health crises, citing Florida’s recent declaration of an emergency in response to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. There is also a critical assessment of the CDC’s performance, with the argument that the agency has made significant and inexcusable mistakes, eroding public trust.

Some individuals hold the view that the FCC is led by what they refer to as “globalists,” who they believe seek to curtail the freedoms of ordinary citizens.
