Last month, HHS announced a major push for universal flu and coronavirus vaccines, a promising step toward improved immunity to two diseases that defy conventional vaccines. But the plan has a key flaw: It bets everything on one technological platform. 👇

More on how to strengthen Generation Gold Standard, the Trump administration’s universal vaccine initiative, in our new piece: cgdev.org/blog/hhs-dont-… ✍️ Christopher Snyder and Sebastian Quaade

The US’s Generation Gold Standard initiative rightly backs universal vaccines—but is making a narrow bet on one tech platform. Christopher Snyder & Sebastian Quaade urge HHS.gov to diversify its approach and invest in multiple vaccine technologies 💉⬇️ bit.ly/45n1Wep

Neonatal sepsis kills ~500k newborns every year, yet fast and accurate diagnostics remain unavailable. Our new 3-post series with Center for Global Development unpacks the problem—and shows how an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) could unlock life-saving innovation. 🧵👇

Developing a rapid diagnostic could save thousands of newborn lives and slow AMR. Read the full series to learn more: cgdev.org/blog/case-prio… Akhil Leah Rosenzweig Claire McMahon @RebeccaRolapp Georgia Bradley Siddhartha Haria Center for Global Development Arthur Baker

In the first of a 3 part series from Center for Global Development and Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA), experts discuss investing in rapid diagnostics for neonatal sepsis to fight AMR—and how an Advance Market Commitment could help unlock life-saving innovation. Read on ⬇️ bit.ly/4leKCwA

In collaboration with Center for Global Development, we’re establishing a working group to design an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis—a devastating and neglected cause of child mortality. Here’s why this is our focus. 🧵👇

Neonatal sepsis kills up to 700k newborns annually. Better diagnostics could save lives and curb AMR—but market failures have stalled innovation. In part 2 of a new series, Center for Global Development & Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA) propose an advance market commitment to jumpstart development: bit.ly/4kYBHja

A rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis could save newborn lives and reduce antibiotic resistance. But no such test yet exists. What’s blocking progress? 🧵

Creating a successful advanced market commitment for neonatal sepsis diagnostics takes more than funding. In the final part of series from Center for Global Development & Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA), experts set out how the new working group intends to make the AMC happen: bit.ly/4nkKXzE

Half a million newborn babies die of sepsis every year. Its easily treatable with antibiotics but there is no rapid diagnostic test so doctors are left guessing. Very exciting that CGD is working on a solution!

An Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for neonatal sepsis diagnostics could save newborn lives and curb antibiotic resistance. But how should such an AMC actually work? And how will we get it off the ground? 🧵

It’s interesting to me that when we look for guidance on big topics like, ”What does it mean to be a good person?”, or “What makes for a meaningful, worthwhile life?”, many of the canonical texts we regularly refer to are very old. Nicomachean Ethics, Meditations and the Bible,

The push for universal vaccines is right, but the US risks falling short by betting on a single tech platform. Christopher Snyder & Sebastian Quaade urge HHS.gov to diversify under Generation Gold Standard. 💉 Read more: bit.ly/45n1Wep

Finally read the The Lancet article claiming US foreign assistance cuts will lead to 14mill deaths up to 2030 which has garnered much media attention. Its problematic to say the least, X-country regression with mortality on left and US spending per head on right. 1/ 🧵
