The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & used worldwide. Splitting it into 3 shots isn’t evidence-based—it’s politics that will sow confusion, lower coverage & fuel outbreaks.

Don’t be surprised when countries start requiring proof of MMR from U.S. travelers. 💉

State of the world of science publishing:

- Booming paper mills cranking out fake papers

- AI generated images & papers flooding the system

- Unaffordable article process charges

- Difficulties in finding peer reviewers

- Political pressures & censorship on editors & journals

What did I miss?

Delivery of global surgery is not just #equity but also #sustainability. As a profession we must grapple with over-servicing, 'met unneed' and resource-guzzling technologies when a large proportion of the world still lacks access to basic, sustainable surgical care.
