Really good article. The criticisms of Carney using tried & true diplomacy while negotiating with a hostile regime, are absurd, naive, and in my view, bad faith propaganda.

#PAHO 's regional verification commission for #measles elimination meets this week. The likely outcome: Canada will lose its measles-free status, due to its large & long-running outbreak. If so, the Americas region will also lose elimination status. www.statnews.com/2025/11/03/m...

The Americas is the only region of the world to have stopped endemic transmission of measles. But its victory is on the verge of being rolled back.
