A stark message from J. Hansen today at the Int. Court of Justice -"Human-caused climate change is poised to be the greatest injustice in history. The reach of CC is global. The scope of climate change, within the lifetime of a young person today, will be monumental and tragic"

“It’s hard for me to feel sad that the CEO was killed. I’m in social work. So many of the people I see who are homeless have similar stories: they got a debilitating illness, which caused them to go bankrupt, or get addicted to drugs. Meanwhile these health insurance companies are profiting from people not getting the care they need. Millions of people suffer from that behavior. Where is the justice for those people? Maybe violence is never the answer. But this isn’t a question of morality to me. It’s a cause-and-effect thing. This is what happens when people aren’t being heard. The system isn’t working. This is where the government was supposed to step in, but it didn’t. And millions of people were left with nowhere to turn. I’m uncomfortable that violence was used. But also, it’s nice to finally have some pushback.”

Fantastic perspective and historical overview from the great @PaulSaxMD :: "Who’s Going to Get Lenacapavir for HIV Prevention?" blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…

Imagine a one-year-old baby weighing only 4 kilograms. This is what happened to Abdullah from Yemen, who was critically ill from severe acute malnutrition. He received life-saving care, but many children in the conflict-torn country still remain at risk. uniceflink.org/4f8nWuy

Great short thread. Been banging my head against the wall for years trying to get these points across to pediatricians.

These results are “terrifying” Levels of global acute malnutrition have doubled since last year in parts of northwest Nigeria via @msf msf.org/levels-global-…

Great perspective.

people's lifelong passion matches compensation so closely so weird

‘My screams went unheard’: Women and girls suffer in Kenya’s worst drought in 40 years. Climate change isn’t only normalising acute malnutrition – it is exposing drought migrants to increased sexual violence and child marriage. ✍️@ParryTom telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

A decade after the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, Sierra Leone begins a new chapter with nation-wide preventive vaccination of frontline workers gavi.org/news/media-roo… via @gavi

Wow, what an amazing, riveting read in @NEJM. So grateful to all the frontline health workers and staff that have successfully slowed the current #Marburg outbreak :: "Fight or Flight — Facing the Marburg Outbreak in Rwanda" nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern #Gaza was attacked again last night, and a nurse, an x-ray technician and an administrative employee were injured. Continued attacks on the hospital and the health system in Gaza are depriving people of lifesaving care. We call for protection of all health workers, patients and health facilities, and an immediate ceasefire.
