Has anyone modeled how many HIV infections could have been prevented by equitable access to ARVs after 1997? Obv lots in avoidable deaths but since ARVs stop transmission, must also be true that many infections would have been prevented in Africa, Asia, LatAm w equal access

Time for the world to catch up to 2024 on TB

Pandemic financing: The World Bank is hand-tied by its rules. Gavi & DFIs have created the world's first day zero pandemic fund for vaccines. Ruchir Agarwal: “When the next pandemic happens, we should not be wondering where the money will come from”. development-today.com/archive/2024/d…

Good that mRNA might work against MPox. But if the past is any indication, we should expect this to matter very little if Moderna is the decision-maker in who gets doses, at what price, and in what timeline. statnews.com/2024/09/04/mod…

Have to love the global response to last night’s debates…

Any single day this would be staggering—to strike a UN school where people are sheltering. But it’s day after day. We cannot become desensitized to war crimes.
