In February, the US gov shut down the Demographic & Health Surveys.
It was the only data source on maternal & child health, births, household structure in many countries – making it crucial for research.
In a new article I explain why it should be rescued.

I wrote about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s various weird ideas about HIV/AIDS, and why they could soon become the rest of the world's problem if he becomes HHS secretary. In the words of one expert I spoke to, "I can't believe we're having this conversation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
