I absolutely agree with this view published by @madhupai.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/11/12/c...
All children have the right to vaccinations and NO child should die of measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, or any other vaccine preventable disease.

Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

There is going to be another edition of Mycobacteria Protocols. This time coediting with Ainhoa Lucia (U Zaragoza). It will be a combination of good old protocols and new ones. As we finalize the list, are there chapters that you really, really wish were in the new ed? #tuberculosis #mycobacteria🧪🦠

The US awards the Medal of Honor "to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor." Curious fact. Only 1 woman (of 3547) has been awarded it: Mary Edwards Walker. And the US tried to take hers back.
