So there is that, and that's on us. Mm-hmm. And, you know, another op-ed piece in the Boston Globe by Ashish Jha, you know, did a mea culpa around some of the things that public health, we did wrong. We got it wrong in COVID where we didn't, you know, deal with some of the doubts and lack of evidentiary base for masking and some of these other things that basically hurt us in the end.

So there's definitely that. However, you know, restoring the trust in healthcare professionals is, is sort of like a basic step to anyone getting their health care. I mean, I think people still go to their doctors. Most people still trust their doctor to some degree. And I think that that's at least a bright spot in where we are. Because when we've lost that...

I think we're we're really in trouble. I mean, it's slipping, but I think that there is a way to to restore that trust. But it starts so that it just starts with a conversation. You know, if someone has a vaccine hesitancy or they don't understand what's going on, that's the opportunity to open the doors to a dialogue conversation.

And I think maybe that's, you know, maybe that's the starting point for any of this. We all want cost effectiveness. We all want, you know, transparency. We also want to have choices that make sense to us, but let's not make it an adversarial confrontation. And I think that that goes for both sides.

That's a hard question to answer. I would say, let me back up. You know, I think that the COVID pandemic Yes, there are a lot of things that went well. The vaccine development was phenomenal. I mean, revolutionary. Who would have expected that to happen?

However, it also just revealed how shattered our public health system really is in terms of messaging, even detection, spreading information, even the vaccine distribution. was completely chaotic, right? So I don't want to say that, you know, the public health response during COVID was some sort of paragon to be emulated or replicated, right? So that said, though, absolutely.

I mean, you know, how are we going to handle a new era of this what-if scenario where we don't know what virus is coming next. I mean, I'm seeing these days, I'm even seeing viruses that never caused the kind of respiratory failure in the past. They're doing it now, whether it's RSV, the respiratory syncytial virus,

or even non-COVID coronavirus, which should just give you a cold, the sniffles, and yet it's causing devastating, you know, pneumonias. So we're in a new era and, you know, antibiotic resistance is not getting any less, you know, problematic. So what do we do in this era? Well, I think awareness is the first thing. OK, awareness around. Yes.
