Polarization, Partisanship, and Political Alignment Threaten Public Health: A Public Health of Consequence, October 2024
2024
Overview
Given the political wrangling that has fueled vaccine hesitancy, additional measures of political party affiliation and partisanship, as recommended by Pacheco et al., can offer perspectives on government mistrust, individualism, public health mistrust, and antiscience attitudes that drive the ideology fueling vaccine hesitancy.4 LGBTQIA+ RIGHTS AND MARRIAGE EQUALITY During his tenure, former President Donald Trump appointed three of the Supreme Court's current roster of six conservative justices and more than 200 federal judges who the Human Rights Campaign has cited as being hostile to LGBTQIA1 rights.5 Such a partisan judiciary poses real threats to the hard-fought rights, dignity, and humanity of LGBTQIA1 people. 10 Following this ruling, several conservative Republican legislators are already spearheading efforts to strip federal agencies, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), of their regulatory authority and put it back into the hands of Congress and the courts. [...]judges and legislators that lack the scientific expertise will now have power over these regulatory statutes. [...]efforts to undermine bedrocks of our environmental protections (e.g., the clean air and clean water acts) will come under attack. CONCLUSIONS We are actively witnessing how polarization, partisanship, and political alignment across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government are reshaping public health policy, health behaviors, and attitudes. [...]increasing partisanship and political alignment are emboldening states to follow their own health policy agendas.
