2/ The Danish head of its CDC is like: are you fucking crazy? We are a small country with universal healthcare. You shouldn't do what we do. We should do what you used to do.
Health officials in Denmark and Germany said they were baffled by the Trump administration’s push to emulate their countries. Traditionally, they have looked to the United States as a leader for its meticulous process of review and recommendation of vaccinations. The officials noted that the childhood vaccination schedule in the United States had been tailored for the country’s large and diverse population and patchy system of medical care. Denmark and Germany have comprehensive free prenatal care and an infant mortality rate that is about half of that in the United States. “It’s not at all fair to say look at Denmark unless you can match the other characteristics of Denmark,” said Anders Hviid, who leads research on vaccine safety and effectiveness at the Statens Serum Institut, Denmark’s equivalent of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The wealthiest 10% of humans emit ~47% or ~77% of global greenhouse gases annually, depending on whether emissions are allocated based on consumption of emissions-intensive goods and services on on ownership of polluting assets.
