We just published a short reflection on WHO’s pre-qualification of lenacapavir. When a product is already approved by EMA and FDA, what does PQ really add? And how do branding and regulatory segmentation shape access? @rravinetto.bsky.social

Como profe de Náuticas, oficial de la Armada y friki de la seguridad marítima, me paso el día explicando esto: el 90% del comercio mundial pasa por 8 estrechos. OCHO. Si los cierran, tu supermercado se vacía en 72h. Abro hilo sobre los puntos que controlan el planeta 🧵⚓

Drug companies submit their clinical trial data to the FDA when seeking approval but the data is confidential and inaccessible to the USPTO. If patent examiners had access to it...

Peace is the best medicine - that’s not just a slogan, it's based on evidence. In countries affected by conflict and insecurity: -70% of disease outbreaks erupt -Half of all child deaths globally occur -1 in 5 people suffer from mental health disorders. The most courageous choose peace. #PeaceDay

Congress should act before this becomes institutionalized. Lawmakers could amend FACA to clarify that any FDA meeting convened to offer regulatory advice — no matter what it’s called — must comply with FACA’s transparency and balance requirements. www.statnews.com/2025/09/05/f...

Lo que pasa en la FDA afecta a US y tambien a la salud global. La armonización de sistemas de regulación farmacéutica, la transparencia y el rigor, nos protegen a todos.

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

mezcla un poco churras con merinas, pero la tesis está clara y es cierta: hace falta mejorar el acceso a la #PrEP. Es inaceptable tener que esperar años para acceder al tratamiento preventivo más eficaz contra el #VIH, y peor, adquirir la infección mientras tanto es.ara.cat/sociedad/sal...

Yo creía que ya se había encontrado al culpable y que era un virus, pero por lo visto no era cierto. "The cause of the disease remained elusive. But on Monday, a new study identified the killer: a sneaky bacteria known as Vibrio pectenicida." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s...

"Sorry, America, but it's not Australia's fault that your healthcare system is failing you" Donald Trump has blamed 'freeloader' countries like Australia for the high cost of medicines. Unfortunately the grim statistics tell a different story www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Recordatorio de que un informe publicado en Reino Unido la semana pasada mostró que las reticencias vacunales "son solo una parte de una imagen muy compleja". Son las "razones prácticas o logísticas" las que disuaden a las familias, más que el miedo a las vacunas. www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Interesantísimo. Los hombres se sobrevaloran ("sin cuota de género habría ganado") y las mujeres se infravaloran ("gané por la cuota de género"). "Las cuotas de género generan tanta controversia [porque] la mayoría de la gente no entiende bien el efecto real de las cuotas."
