So grateful you escaped safelyvmy friend. What a world that seems to turn a blind eye to violence everywhere, and touches even you, a man of such peace and compassion. Heartbreaking. @DrTedros.

More scary than the Shinning or Nightmare on Elm Street . Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that former President Donald Trump has "promised" him "control of the public health agencies.". If true, Trump is creating a Halloween horror movie . Source: ABC News

It's not cricket. @ImranKhanPTI should be released immediately by Pakistan’s authorities. His arbitrary detention casts a dark shadow on respect for democracy and rule of law in Pakistan:

My colleagues and I have published a rebuttal in The Hill to the opinions and β€œalternative facts" about vaccines being promulgated by RFK Junior and former President Trump. The errors made in their data and judgment, sadly endangers all of our children

As fewer children die or are debilitated due to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and polio, we tend to forget that this is the result of an evidence-based childhood vaccination program.

The idea of separating CDC into such arbitrary component parts is as foolish as cutting genomics into two specialtiesβ€”one that studies only the half of chomesome pairs that are even numberedβ€”but not oddβ€”numbered. And other other half into the study of the odd ones. Odd, indeed.

In India I saw scenes outside of smallpox wards when bedsheets of infected smallpox patients were washed like video below. Many outbreaks were traced back to practices like this. Saying Mpox β€œcannot be airborne” is risky.

There is controversy over whether Mpox can be airborne. It is in the same Orthopox family as smallpox; and the last death from smallpox in history was from what we think an airborne spread through an HVAC system. Let’s not underestimate this virus as we have so many before.

JUST INβ€” W.H.O. Declares Global Emergency Over New Mpox Outbreak. The threat this time is deadlier. Since the beginning of this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo alone has reported more than 14,000 mpox cases and 524 deaths. Those most at risk include women and children

Excellent piece as usual from @EricTopol. Indomitable virus it is, but not unbeatable. It seems like so many peopleβ€” especially in positions of powerβ€” have given up trying. That’s what fuels the fire of the 5th year of the epidemic.

The new significant wave. It's hard to believe the we're well into our 5th year of this virus and not taking the requisite steps to gain control. Including updates on the new boosters and #LongCovid. In Ground Truths (link found in my profile)

According to Dr. Ruth we are officially in a SARS-Cov-2 surge now in the country. There are a lot of reasons to focus on the convention in Milwaukee unfortunately this is one more--people will be coming from areas of the USA with high levels of Covid.
