With the viral season upon us, the debate over vaccination will flare up again. It remains strange to watch: the advantages are many, well established, and increasingly better supported by evidence, including benefits against non-communicable diseases. 1/10

Great and timely piece! Since COVID, discussions on pandemics became emotionally charged. Instead of strengthening preparedness, we even cut funds for response readiness. Just follow #COP30 discussions— #deforestation and #biodiversity-loss aren’t exactly delaying the next pandemic. #PublicHealth

Yeah, looking like a big season. Any big season of a respiratory virus is a worry. Greater hospital burden, more details, more of the severe pointy end of infection outcomes, cardiac events, even if the new variant isn't super virulent. Seeing little about vaccines containing *3* viruses though.
