'El gran peligro, coinciden los expertos, es que una vez que las vacunas estén firmemente establecidas en África, y los casos y muertes empiecen a descender, el riesgo de resurgimiento de la malaria será alto. Bawa recuerda que “la historia ha demostrado que esto es lo que ocurrió en Latinoamérica y otras partes del mundo que llegaron a un buen punto y entonces se relajaron, y antes de que se dieran cuenta, se produjo un rebrote”.

Ooops indeed:

"In other words, the university had patted itself on the back for helping postdocs find a place to live, but its solution turned out to financially exclude, you know, postdocs. Oops!"

The new oral vaccine for type 2 #polio is a lot safer than the Sabin vaccine it has replaced. But it may not be quite as effective, and it will not solve all the eradication program's problems, some campaign veterans warn. #nOPV2 https://www.statnews.com/2023/05/26/some-hoped-a-new-oral-vaccine-would-solve-all-the-polio-campaigns-problems-reality-is-settling-in/

Causes: not really #GlobalWarming/#ClimateChange but rather from #EcosystemCollapse and #Ecocide–the sistematic dismantling of Earth's ecosystems–, and primarily from our present approach to food production and consumption.

Meanwhile, most of us continue to commute by car, consume red meat, fly for holidays and work, and in other words, pretend this `problem` clearly somebody else must be solving, or there isn't a problem at all because this very minute we aren't inconvenienced by it.

Come the fall, seniors in the US will be urged to get vaccinated against #RSV, a respiratory pathogen that causes about as much illness in this group as does flu.
