Science must always lead the way.
Recent statements by U.S. government officials on major health issues have been making headlines. While they may attract attention, they risk doing something far more serious: undermining public trust in science. At CLEO, we cannot emphasize this enough: public health is not a matter of opinion. It must be anchored in evidence.
When public figures dismiss scientific evidence and research, the fallout is real and unavoidable. Public health is not a talking point, nor can it be sacrificed to empty slogans or misleading rhetoric.
We call, above all, for evidence before announcements. Policies and public statements must rest on rigorous, peer-reviewed research, not speculation or quick fixes. Equally important is responsible communication: health guidance should come from experts, not political podiums. Ultimately, this is about protecting our communities as we know them.
At CLEO, we stand firm: the only path forward is one where evidence leads and public health is safeguarded. Anything less puts both lives and trust at risk.
