When should big data and algorithms be used to determine programme eligibility?
Although machine learning models using mobile phone data can make poverty targeting faster and more cost-effective, traditional survey-based methods remain more accurate. The optimal approach therefore depends on striking the right balance between cost, accuracy, and programme scale.

I hope this is true but voting behavior suggests it is not.
Americans agree with this statement, by a 71 to 19 margin:
“The president should work within limits, share power with Congress and the courts, and compromise with other branches of government in order to accomplish his goals.”
We reject authoritarian rule.

Democratic erosion but for public health. They are slowly grinding the infrastructure into bits. So dangerous. Children will literally die.
NEW: The entire staff supporting ACIP was laid off, and most working groups haven't met in months.
That means the US may not make routine vaccine recommendations for more than half of children in 2026, and it could halt new vaccines in the pipeline. My latest:
