What does it mean to suggest that disease burden is changing around the world and that DALYs show us that increasingly what ails us is not necessarily what kills us (Murray and Lopez 2013:453). Why does Nichter suggest that this picture is only partial as DALYs “ do not measure how the disability of one household member affects others” and that the true burden of disease needs to take into account “social support, work substitution and status and roles of the afflicted, not just work productivity” (2008:113) 2. Pasteur supposedly said that “the bug is nothing the terrain is everything”. Explain what this means in the context of infectious diseases. Why are people seen as the more important factor rather than the pathogen in seeking to come to terms with re-emerging infectious diseases. 3. Why is the epidemiological establishment of disease risk groups never neutral and might be considered an example of biopower in action. Using examples from the HIV epidemic, describe how designation of risk groups has, at times, re-inscribed moral distinctions born of understandings of sexuality developed during the colonial era. 4 Farmer suggests structural violence is “One way of describing social arrangements that put individuals and populations in harm's way. The arrangements are structural because they are embedded in the political and economic organization of our social world; they are violent because they cause injury to people” (Farmer et al 2006 Structural Violence and Clinical Medicine. PLoS Med 3(10). Using examples from discussions and readings explain what it means to say ‘social and economic inequalities become embodied as differential vulnerability to disease and illness (Farmer 2004:305).
