stigma

These stigmas are not simply harmful — they are also unscientific.

“Resources are siphoned away from proven public health measures into counterproductive enforcement, and the stigma of criminalization pushes key target populations away from the very services they could most benefit from.”

Encouraging people to "just get tested", he said: "It is just a little scratch on the finger and there should be no stigma."

The main challenge, Bloom and others argue, is the stigma associated with remote work, which isn’t helped by people like Trump and Musk.

But the stigma doesn’t end when the job does.
