摘要

在COVID-19的最初几天，有关健康和生命的故事迅速而坚定地流传开来。“只有免疫系统受损的人和老年人才会死亡”这句话成为了分歧的触点，意味着法西斯主义对一些人的牺牲和对另一些人的安慰。这些例子让我们了解到，在混乱的时代，扩散短语中的含义是如何暴露和加强现有的权力体系的。我们借用工程学的概念来讨论卫生叙事如何在社会和政治冲突的时刻加强和挑战现有的权力和不公正结构。

"Only the Immunocompromised and Elderly Will Die": Precarity and Care in the United States.

During the first days of COVID-19, stories about health and life circulated quickly and with resolve. The phrase "only the immunocompromised and elderly will die" became a touchpoint of disagreement, meaning fascist sacrifice to some and comfort to others. Examples provide insights into how, in times of disruption, meanings embedded in diffusive phrases expose and reinforce existing systems of power. We use the concept of shoring, borrowed from engineering, to discuss how health narratives reinforce and challenge existing structures of power and injustice in moments of social and political strife.

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
