Katelyn Jetelina, writing as Your Local Epidemiologist. I don't remember when she started writing her newsletters -- may not have been right at the beginning of covid -- but she has been a voice of sanity, evidence-based public health information, and advocacy for several years.

Great list; glad to see Birx, Jones, and Zimmer among the names; no additions to recommend. Thanks.

That is quite the thorough list Rebekah. We had just relocated from TX to MO at that time. While many of the names on the list are familiar, their specific contributions are not...that is valuable, thanks. Wish someone from MO stood out, but none do.
