@paimadhu @WitsUniversity @PLOSGPH Interrogating intersection between cancer and infections.

@crisistalker Thank you, Brandy. And, back at you! Plenty of gratitude all around.

I'm truly grateful that I get to work w/ such intelligent subject matter experts. This article by Dr. @RobertBreiman is insightful re the need to quickly vaccinate more at-risk groups.
