We shouldn’t need infographics to ensure that medical personnel can be safe while doing their job. #NotATarget

Russia eased vaccination standards when diphtheria seemed beaten. 157,000 infections. 5,000 dead. Japan dropped mandates after a trust collapse. Rubella came back. Babies born blind and deaf. Nigeria boycotted polio shots. The virus paralyzed 2,500 children and spread to 20 countries. That is the documented pattern. Kennedy has now dropped six vaccines from routine schedules and pulled $1.6 billion from global immunization. Measles is already in 46 states.

Ending AIDS by 2030 would require an annual share of 0.2% of the current global health spending. ​ That is only $2 out of every $1000 spent on health worldwide.​ Learn more #GlobalAIDSStrategy2031:​ unaids.org/en/2026-2031-g…

Remember how far we have come: A child born today, whether in Australia or Africa or USA or France, can expect to live a longer, healthier, more educated and more prosperous life than their equivalent ancestor of a generation before, or a generation before that.

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

In Opinion Rebecca Archer’s daughter died of measles that she contracted before she was old enough to be vaccinated. “Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk,” Archer writes. nyti.ms/3QizMM9

Remember the Great Barrington Declaration signers demanding we let our kids catch an unknown virus ASAP so the economy could roar back? 🤔 New OECD study: Long COVID will cost us up to $135B a year, be drag on global economy for the next decade. 👇🏽 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk was declared safe and effective on this day 71 years ago. He used a technique by Nobel Prize laureates John Enders, Thomas Weller and Frederick Robbins to help develop his vaccine.

Artemis II matters because it reminds us what coordinated, science-driven ambition looks like. With the post-COVID rise of anti-science/anti-intellectualism in the mainstream and the subsequent dismantling of our pillar scientific institutions (NIH, CDC etc)… We needed this.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” — Albert Einstein

At least 326 humanitarians were killed in the line of duty across 21 countries during 2025, bringing the total killed over three years to over 1,010. “This is not an accidental escalation. It is the collapse of protection." - @UNOCHA chief Tom Fletcher news.un.org/en/story/2026/…
