Constitutional Contagion

Are you concerned about the state of public health in America? Look no further than Constitutional Contagion, a groundbreaking book that delves into the intersection of constitutional law and public health. Authored by Wendy Parmet, this meticulously researched work explores the history of public health laws, individual rights, and the impact of court decisions on our nation's vulnerability to contagion.

Through an engaging blend of law, history, political theory, and public health research, Parmet demonstrates how the Supreme Court's departure from past practices hindered efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic. By analyzing pre-pandemic court decisions, she reveals how these rulings contributed to the erosion of social contracts, weakened democracy, and perpetuated the socio-economic disparities that left the United States particularly susceptible to the impact of COVID-19.

But Parmet's analysis doesn't stop at pointing out problems. She offers a thought-provoking perspective on how constitutional law can be reshaped to prioritize public health without compromising individual liberties. By examining earlier era judicial decisions, Parmet shows that the stark individualism prevalent in contemporary constitutional law is not an inherent requirement of the Constitution.

Constitutional Contagion is a must-read for anyone passionate about public health, social justice, and the future well-being of our nation. If you believe that constitutional law should adapt and evolve to better serve the health needs of our society, this book provides a compelling argument for change.
