The book explores the dual nature of public health as both a moral force and a scientific discipline. It examines how contemporary public health rituals unite diverse populations around shared humanity, serving as a substitute for traditional religions. The author highlights the tension between scientific evidence in epidemiology and its impact on vulnerable groups, advocating for a collective response to the challenges posed by capitalism and globalization. Through extensive research, the work calls for a new redistributive social program to address health and social inequalities.
