Hello, and welcome to Lawrence’s Newsletter

Larry’s Letters has always been free and will always be free.

Writing from the perspective of a 30 year career Officer in the US Public Health Service. I wrote public health policy at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to support OSHA rule making for new standards for occupational exposures to hazardous chemical and biological exposures as well as harmful physical agents. NIOSH is a CDC agency.

In this Newsletter I explore the reasons and the implications of the policies that are shaping our lives. And, of course, one cannot write about public health policy without writing about the politics that shapes it.

As I explain the science underlying how our public health policy is made and discuss the reasons that the various federal agencies do the things that they do which is normally an exercise defined by the phrase “watching paint dry” remember that since the presidency of Barack Obama began in 2009 we have learned that our health is a matter of national political attention and control and it has divided us deeply.

The worst part of this is that we have learned exactly how corrupt our politics and our public health agencies have become in their quest for that control and financial gain and that is the focus of this Newsletter. All of which brings me to today, almost two years after the cleverly named Larry’s Letters began.

Since I wrote all that needed to be written about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID from a policy perspective and because I was compelled to do so I wrote a series on transgenderism and how it was forced on the American People starting again with The Obama Administration and today 30 October 2023 I find myself deep into the weeds of the latest act of barbarism committed by a large segment of the radical Islamists.

None of these two series has been or is easy but the stories need to be told and understood.
