You should check a multination questionnaire of Deans of Schools of Public Health asking how the pandemic has influenced the future of their curriculum, research and overall objectives of PH for the future...

Henry I. Miller, M.S., M.D. · Answer

For COVID-19 in particular, natural immunity (i.e., from infection) has no place because of the sequelae of infection, including effects on the heart, brain, and other organs.  This is manifested in long COVID and in increased post-infection all-cause mortality.  See, for example, https://www.stroke.org/en/news/2022/03/31/after-covid-19-experts-say-watch-for-these-potential-heart-and-brain-problems.

How can AI-based movement monitoring support rehabilitation after hip fracture without compromising older adults’ autonomy and person-centred care?

What is the optimal vaccine schedule for children?

When the policy exists to share postprints freely on personal sites, why do researchers often refrain from doing so, and what incentives or constraints drive that hesitation?

In austere/conflict settings, when does a complex surgery become ethically unjustifiable due to a lack of postoperative resources for managing complications?

Why are ambitious, planet-critical research proposals, still hitting funding roadblocks, and what will it take to break down these barriers before it’s too late?
