Go back to those who sent us here.

We are the young they drafted out
To wars their folly brought about.

Granny Smith - Wikipedia

Never feel guilty explaining your symptoms to your health care provider. You have a right to ask, and a right to explore all options of care.
Today’s daily dose.

Illustration of five colourful birthday candles on a cake with the WHO logo in the top right corner. Text reads: “In 2024, 4.9 million children did not make it to their fifth birthday.”

In 2024, 4.9 million children under five died.
But even one is too many.

We need:
- Stronger primary health care.
- Resources directed to where children are most at risk.
- Governments honoring the commitments they've already made.

Main text: “Every COVID infection adds risk, not protection.” The word “risk” is in bright pink; the rest is in black. Below in bright pink: “Each infection increases the risk of Long COVID.” Bottom text: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

Every COVID infection adds risk, not protection. The more times someone is infected, the higher their risk of developing Long COVID.

Reducing infections is one of the most important ways to protect long-term health. The Five Pillars of Protection help lower risk by layering prevention strategies:

Do not obey in advance.

Don’t shrink yourself, don’t censor yourself, don’t count yourself out, don’t change your company’s policies, don’t purge your research program, don’t modify your language, don’t sit back when you want to speak up.

This is OUR America. We don’t do all that here.
