This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I say this as someone for whom this is my profession: elimination of a disease is not the same as eradication. When a country has eliminated measles, it means that cases still occur, but do not result in SUSTAINED ongoing outbreaks, because vaccination levels are high.

Excellent flu vaccine explainer that acknowledges concerns around vaccine risks and then builds them into the larger picture, which is: how do those risks compare to getting the actual flu?

Is the flu vaccine worth getting? (SPOILER: Yes.)
If you cut your risk in half, isn't that a win?

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.
