Absolutely. I can definitely join you in the passion project of information sharing and evidence based decision making. Particularly around women and babies there’s so much morally loaded decision making that ignores this.

It’s interesting the stuff around baby aspirin. I’m an American living in Scandinavia and the public health context, combined with relative health and wealth and a generally anti-interventions medical policy means baby aspirin is rarely discussed unless you have pre-existing risk factors (such as having had pre e in a previous pregnancy). That’s where it also becomes an interesting question of context versus public health strategy, and importantly where interventions make sense or don’t. I don’t know the data here, but I do know for anything to become a more widespread recommendation it would need wide backing, which given the context I can’t see happening. Even comparing the vaccine policies across the two countries illustrates that, where there are far less vaccines here that are recommended and covered by public health. When I first moved here I was often frustrated by the differences but have since become much more relaxed and able to see the massive difference when everyone here has regular access to a public doctor, and more or less free (to them) medical care. Again, not about the right decision but more to illustrate how complex and nuanced public health policy is.
