Primes

• Defense In Depth
  • In public health, it stacks vaccination, hygiene, ventilation, testing, isolation, and treatment so that no single failure produces an outbreak.

    This sourceAdapts Reason's Swiss-cheese model to respiratory-pandemic defense — multiple imperfect layers (distancing, masks, ventilation, testing/tracing, vaccination) combined so that no single failure produces transmission, the holes only aligning rarely.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
