Today and tomorrow, I am at the ENRIO 2023 Congress on Research Integrity Practice in Paris. Various institutional actors have opened the meeting. Now the first talk is by Stephanie Ruphy, philosopher and president of the French office for Scientific Integrity (OFIS https://www.ofis-france.fr/en/)

“I was raised Catholic, so I know their stance on these things … but I guess when you think it’s a public hospital, there’s that sense that public hospitals care for you regardless of the condition that you’re in, so it hadn’t really crossed my mind that that barrier would apply to me.

Banging the big drum in 1631! This is a Protestant mocking and warning of Catholic #propaganda and military recruitment during the #ThirtyYearsWar.

This #broadside shows, among other details, a very big drum that is played by Monks and Jesuits (on the left). On the right is the #Devil in a military uniform - and other clerics with the ready war chest.

#MediaHistory knows: the conflicts between 1618-48 filled the newspapers of the time, and inspired lots of media battles. #Histodons

In a historic judgment in South Africa the High Court in Pretoria ruled in favor of the Health Justice Initiative making contracts between the government and major vaccine manufacturers public.
