“I think we should understand our policy — that however unpleasant they act, this government is better for us than Allende was,” Kissinger said to his deputies, according to declassified transcripts, in the weeks after the coup. A few years later, in 1976, Kissinger would tell Pinochet, “My evaluation is that you are a victim of all left-wing groups around the world and that your greatest sin was that you overthrew a government which was going Communist.”

"Those new cases were concentrated in just five countries: Pakistan, Nigeria, Uganda, Ethiopia and Papua-New Guinea. Climate change was a direct contributor in three of them, said Dr. Daniel Ngamije, who directs the W.H.O. malaria program."

"The math is simple, even mind-numbingly obvious—a pathogenic n+1 that epidemiologists have seen coming since the pandemic’s earliest days. Now we’re living that reality, and its consequences. “What I’ve told family or friends is, ‘Odds are, people are going to get sick this year,’” Saskia Popescu, an epidemiologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, told me."

"These inequalities are compounded by how various neuroimaging techniques don’t serve Black patients well. Electroencephalography (EEG), which monitors electrical signals that emanate from the brain, is not optimized for Black hair, so participants may have to shave their heads or be excluded from studies completely. Increasingly popular light-based techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), have not been corrected for those with higher melanin contents in their skin, which can lead to confounding or less accurate results. This has also been seen with pulse oximetry, a measure of oxygen saturation within your blood, a vital parameter in bedside patient monitoring."
