Really great to do a live Ground Truths Podcast with @erictopol.bsky.social Here is the clip from the segment on why we can’t have global security without global health security.

I really want to thank Global Health Strategies & David Gold, in particular for hosting a pre-launch reception the night before my official publishing date for my book Fair Doses. In attendance were many of the global health glitterati. friends, staff from IAVI, Gavi, GHS & the Gates Foundation.

Pleased to announce the October 28th launch of my book "Fair Doses: An insider’s story of the pandemic and the global fight for vaccine equity" written in an engaging way for a general audience & available for pre-order on all major bookseller sites Pre-order at Amazon www.amazon.com/Fair-Doses-I...

Great to be back in Korea to attend my first International Vaccine Institute Board meeting. We met in Seoul & then traveled to Andong Province to visit SK Bioscience & K-Bio. Korea has progressed dramatically in their quest to become a regional biotech & vaccine center!

Great to see my dear friend Pak Budi, Minister of Health of Indonesia spontaneously while we both happened to be in Washington DC. He is doing so much to improve the health of Indonesians. Good to catch up on all of the challenges in Global Health.

Grt 2B at the World Vaccine Congress in Washington DC. Just finished speaking on two Biodefense panels: What are remaining bottlenecks holding us back from achieving the 100 day mission & International Pandemic funding. Good discussions in difficult times for pandemic prevention & health financing.

We need strong, science-driven policies to #DefeatMeningitis by 2030 especially in Africa. Great to join @SerumInstIndia at #IPNC2025 to spotlight progress on this front w. Drs Prasad Kulkarni (SII), Milagritos Tapia (@UMCVD) , and Abdulrazaq Habib (@WHO SAGE).

I participated in a number of excellent panels at the AMREF African Health Agenda International Conference. The mood disappointed but defiant. We discussed vaccine access and manufacturing & the need to change priorities towards prevention & PHC. An excellent conversation at a critical time.

Had a good panel at the #WorldGovSummit where we discussed Innovative strategies for universal health coverage & reducing health inequalities. I focused on messages from @TheLancet #Globalhealth2050 as well as the need to focus on prevention, progressive universalism & pandemic preparedness.

Great to be attending the #WorldGovSummit in Dubai. Just spoke at their Ministerial meeting on XDGs for 2045 discussing the need for Prevention in Health Care and for Pandemics as critical pathways for all countries and the need for equitable provision of our preventive tools.
