Whose narrative am I looking at here?

Popular economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok maybe. And people can agree or disagree with them on a variety of issues.
But describing "sanitation improves health outcomes" as just somebody's "narrative" feels a bit like responding to "The sky is blue," by asking "Yes, but who benefits?"

Sometimes a poorly communicated idea turns into an anti-vax movement. Other times a poorly communicated idea is used as cover for malfeasance, such as “war on drugs” which is actually about oppressing an underclass.

The article isn't poorly communicated. It says that vaccines are "extremely effective", backs that up with citations and numbers, and lauds the scientific revolution.
