Kashuv Sends Hogg Blunt Message About His Public Whining

David Hogg has spent the last month and a half in the public spotlight.

And yet, when anyone criticizes him, he retreats behind a how-dare-you stance — after all,

he is a survivor of the Parkland shooting.

The latest instance of this came after Fox News' Laura Ingraham made jokes about Hogg's

complaints about being rejected from certain colleges.

Ingraham has since apologized, but Hogg has turned his Twitter account into a one-man

vendetta to get Ingraham's sponsors to drop her.

"What's the beef?"

Hogg asked Arby's in a since deleted tweeted.

Now, without going into whether Ingraham's decision was a bad one, she's since apologized

for it, and nothing vulgar or conspiratorial was said about Hogg.

(The same can't be said for those who lashed out at Ingraham, mind you.)

However, Hogg has given his entire Twitter feed over to Ingraham's removal.

Oh, and there are also tweets about how RedState got a story wrong because of a profoundly

bad CBS News quote.

In a counter-tweet, Kyle Kashuv — the most prominent of the conservative Parkland students

— pointed out the hole in Hogg's reasoning.

Hogg (and those who have taken up his cause) have shamelessly hid behind his relative youth

and what he's experienced to state that nothing can reasonably said about him.

Yet, he alone chose to become a public figure.

Nobody pressured him into that decision.

This is what happens to public figures — including Kashuv — when they enter the political arena.

It is not our job to make exceptions, particularly in the case of Hogg, who wants to tell us

what rights we can and cannot have.

Perhaps more importantly, Hogg and the other activists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High

School have already been protected by the mainstream media in a way we've really never

seen before.

These students have interjected themselves into public discourse, as Kashuv points out.

Public discourse can be ugly.

However, it's sad that Hogg — and gun control advocates — want to push their opinions

and then hide behind this young man's status as a victim.

What is Public Health? // NPHW #1 - Duration: 2:38.

Many of you have asked me what public health is.

Here's a good example:

Imagine three friends walking in the woods.

They see a river and notice there are people drowning.

Near the end, there is a waterfall.

One of the friends decide to jump in and save people who are most at risk of falling down the waterfall.

The other friend runs to an area away from the waterfall and makes a raft to bring people to safety.

They look to find the third friend running in the opposite direction of the flowing river.

That friend ran up there to find the cause of the problem and stop it to prevent more people from drowning.

Using that example to compare to the real world,

the friend that ran to save people near the waterfall are the ER doctors and first responders.

They're there to help in case of emergencies or for medical treatment.

The second friend that made the raft are your primary care providers and nurses.

They manage your ongoing conditions, give you annual checkups, and make sure your vaccinations are up to date.

The third friend that went upstream are public health professionals,

who are responsible to find the root cause and stop it, and to prevent health issues from increasing.

50% of health issues or diseases are preventable.

Public health is the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health for people.

Research and policy is critical for public health.

With research, we can find the cause, which region and population groups

are most impacted, and develop intervention strategies.

In the future, we use research to review the intervention strategies, see if it's worked,

and make adjustments for improvement.

Policy is critical and has a huge impact on the health of our population.

For example, ADA laws require communication access for deaf people in healthcare.

A healthy public means people will get sick less frequently and spend less money on healthcare.

This means better economic productivity and an improved quality of life for everyone.

Public health is very important.

Stay healthy!
