Biography

Leon Robertson is a sociologist/epidemiologist. He has researched medical care delivery, the epidemiology of injuries, and the effects of various injury prevention and control efforts. The correlates of differences in COVID-19 among countries and within the U.S. is the subject of his latest research. He found that negative test results are associated with increased spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, apparently due to behavior after receiving a negative test. His latest books are Roads to COVID-19 Containment and Spread (2023) and Dysfunctional: Scientists, Fundamentalists, and Politicians (2024).
