What with whack jobs, quacks and antivaxxers in leadership positions, we must prepare to face a golden age of infectious diseases

I can’t believe this is unfolding in 2025!

Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

To quote Gordon Brown "if a World Health Organization did not exist, it would have to be created to identify and prevent the spread of infectious diseases worldwide".

Time to step up & support @who.int . The world has never needed it more
WHO is all of us. We are all WHO.

Let’s raise $1 billion to support the @who.int’s critical mission of protecting global health, particularly in times of uncertainty and reduced funding
