John Stallings, Insurrectionist Harvard Magazine The ones who lived past childhood lived to old ages. The ones who died at 3, never went on to have kids and generally aren’t spoken too much about by their toddler friends - who don’t recall who they were Not all that long ago, 1 in 5 kids died. Survivor bias in memory

Given the increased focus on syphilis, Dr. Victor Leung provided a comprehensive (and timely) update on antimicrobial resistance and called on healthcare providers to help us evaluate AMR to better study resistance. #BCCfEUpdate

"Imagine a Canada without HIV, or AIDS. A world without either. That could be a bold Canadian goal, one worthy of our ambitions. Soft power suits us better than hard power." André Picard makes the case that Canada lead with 'nation-building' projects like ending HIV/AIDS.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons!

It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.

If anyone claims vaccines haven’t been properly studied, show them this: We’ve now logged 500 randomized, controlled vaccine trials into our dataset with ~7.2M participants. The vast majority of trials reported safety outcomes. Many more trials to come. bit.ly/4le8z7D
