Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

They’re forming a CDC workgroup to decide which line on this graph looks better and their answer may surprise you

Global infant mortality rate with
and without vaccines
Infant mortality rates measure the share of newborns who die before reaching their first birthday. They are shown here as the actual observed change in the global rate (in blue), and a hypothetical scenario if vaccinations hadn't been rolled out (in red).

While both lines decline, the gap between them continues to widen, resulting in an almost 50% difference at 2024.

A good read on how Rwanda tackled their Marburg virus outbreak: "What happened in Rwanda is captured by Louis Pasteur’s famous aphorism that 'chance favours the prepared mind' or, as in this instance, the prepared response system." tinyurl.com/8aavau7j by Wilmot James et al. #IDSky #MedSky
