The COVID pandemic was an acute test of public health capacities worldwide. Many will hail the successes obtained and stress the importance of the discipline. On the contrary, this commentary defends the idea that the COVID pandemic response forced public health to enter in a Faustian bargain with governments and realpolitik that threatens the very core of the discipline's principles.
新冠疫情是对全球公共卫生能力的一次严峻考验。许多人将称赞所取得的成功，并强调该学科的重要性。相反，本文评论认为，新冠疫情应对迫使公共卫生部门与政府和现实政治达成了浮士德式的交易，这威胁到该学科原则的核心。
