The article criticizes a new approach to pandemic preparedness that focuses on individual health decisions and rejects traditional, evidence-based public health practices[1]. The authors of this approach argue that a metabolically healthy population that is physically active and eats properly will cope better with a new pathogen than a population suffering from chronic diseases[1]. However, the article points out that while improving population health is welcome and can reduce morbidity, it is not sufficient as a single policy to prepare for future pandemics[1]. The author emphasizes that science must continue to improve prevention technologies, especially in accelerating their development, because the world faces a growing risk of "poly-epidemics"[1]. It rejects the claim that traditional approaches to pandemic preparedness are unnecessary and create a false sense of security[1]. The article warns that rejecting evidence-based infectious disease strategies and undermining vaccines will not heal us and may increase vaccine hesitancy at the global level[1].
