Nina Schwalbe just got an Erdős number of 3.
Paul Erdős --> K. Vijayan --> D. Reidpath --> N.Schwalbe. She published a great paper on #vaccine#equity. I was lucky enough to be a co-author. @nschwalbeeurekalert.org/news-releases…
In 2015, all UN member states pledged to leave no one behind with the Sustainable Development Goals.
How is that commitment looking today?
New Comment: “Equity in decline: fair distribution in a worse-off world” hubs.li/Q01WcK1g0
ALT Quote from a Comment in The Lancet: Equity in decline: fair distribution in a worse-off world. It reads, "Resistance to measures that promote and protect equity will exacerbate resource competition, global exploitation, and suffering."
As yesterday ended in GVA and NY, so did 2 intercessional meetings on the #PandemicAccord and 2 days of negotiations on the High-Level Political Declaration.
No public statements on either. Not even a tweet. Are pandemics now top-secret business?
Did governments miss the🎯that transparency fosters trust?
🗓 WHO scheduled informal intercessional hybrid meetings to discuss the text of the #PancemicAccord for June 22, 26th and 30th and July 3rd, 5th and 6th.
Once again, the schedule overlaps with the NY UNGA pandemic High-Level Political Declaration discussions (June 26-27).

Over the past century global wealth and wellbeing has increased almost unimaginably, and yet humanity has failed to distribute those benefits fairly. We now inhabit a world of global heating, ecological collapse, food and water shortages, conflict....

#ChatGPT haiku take on the Pentateuch.
Genesis:
In the beginning,
God created all that is,
Life, earth, and heaven.
Exodus:
Moses led the way,
From Egypt to Promised Land,
Through Red Sea they crossed.
Leviticus:
Laws, rituals, and priests,
Instructions for holiness,
Follow and be blessed.
Numbers:
Wandering in desert,
Forty years, God's discipline,
Counting every soul.
Deuteronomy:
Moses spoke the law,
A new generation's guide,
Love God and obey.

Nov 2021, the diagnosis from Ghana was a stricture that needed a dilation procedure. A year later, #Cancer has claimed Jimmy, our beloved brother, father, son; a beautiful soul. By 2030, 75% of cancer deaths will occur in #LMICs. We need to step up screening, diagnosis, treatment
