Low- and middle-income countries will be able to purchase an effective preventative at a reduced price. The arrangements may help stem the epidemic 40 years after it began.

More than 20,000 children have been murdered in Gaza by the Israeli military since 2023.
Nearly 400 Palestinians have been killed by the same government via human-caused famine. They were starved to death.

Benjamin Netanyahu, his admin, and any Israeli supporting his diabolical plan to steal ALL of Gaza are genocidal war criminals who deserve nothing less than the full application of existing international law and they should be the precedent for new law that the world needs.

Today marks 80 yrs since the United States dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima, Japan.
Instantly incinerating ~80,000 people.
Thousands more died later.
Nukes have got to go.
We couldn’t afford the first bombing, nor the second.
If another drops, it will be annihilation.
