I've never understood why SA abases itself before Rwanda in this way. 14 SA peacekeepers were killed by Rwanda's proxy rebel force in DRC last year, SA's army was utterly humiliated. Yet Pretoria is desperate to "normalise" relations with Kigali. Baffling. x.com/RonaldLamola...

New paper out in @jamanetworkopen.com In 2022, there were 905,159 more deaths in the US than we'd expect if Americans had death rates of other high-income countries. That difference has nearly tripled since 1999. COVID played a role but gap was widening well before 2020. tinyurl.com/y4ecvfrs

Can someone explain in layman's terms the debates around causal inference in #social #epidemiology? I've read a ton of stuff and the writing is way over my head. I've also tried to discuss with practitioners but come away feeling dumb.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

With @otorrisi.bsky.social, we tested several methods to improve data on recent household deaths collected during surveys & censuses in many low-and-middle income countries. These are essential when civil registration of deaths is limited. Results in paper ⬇️ #EpiSky academic.oup.com/ije/article/...
