This article used data from Baltimore about AIDS care, and the authors' research in Rwanda, discussing results from the Partners in Health structural interventions and comparing them to produce their claims.
Emergency response is briefly mentioned as something to consider in risk vs security in situations. The safety of emergency responders is important, but making every person take measures to prevent every disease may not be practical.

1. "as Richard Danzig has argued in the case of bioterrorism, despite the striking increase in funding for biodefense in the U.S., there is still no 'common conceptual framework' that might bring various efforts together and make it possible to assess their adequacy."
2. “Who should lead the fight against disease? Who should pay for it? And what are the best strategies and tactics to adopt?”
3. In contrast to classic public health, preparedness does not draw on statistical records of past events. Rather, it employs imaginative techniques of enactment such as scenarios, exercises, and analytical models to simulate uncertain future threats.
4. emergency response is acute, short-term, focused on alleviating what is conceived as a temporally circumscribed event; whereas “social” interventions—such as those associated with development policy—focus on transforming political-economic structures over the long term
The government should not edit the EPA's notices and warnings.

Adrianna Petryna has a PhD in anthropology and is a professor of such at the University of Pennsylvania. This shows that she has a background in the humanity and relations perspective of the issues that she addresses. Therefore, the scientific information about Chernobyl and other situations she discusses are likely based on research that she read, rather than on her own reasearch and experiences,.
