This behavior is borrowing from the future to pay for today's selfishness. ​It is like maxing out a high-interest credit card to enjoy an immediate, care-free lifestyle. The massive hidden debt will eventually have to be paid by the entire community when #AMR develops. www.kqed.org/science/2001...

Over 70% of people believe at least one unproven health claim (vaccines, fluoride, raw milk, etc.), according to a global survey of 16,000 people. Misinformation is widespread, fueled by information overload and growing skepticism of scientific evidence. #Edelman www.edelman.com/sites/g/file...

The U.S. decision to re-engage with #GAVI during the #Ebola outbreak could be a positive development. The key question is whether this signals a sustained commitment to global health security or a temporary response to a growing crisis and what engagement will look like. tinyurl.com/US-and-GAVI
