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 next pandemic is the failure of the life-saving drugs we already have. ​In Nature, Ben Deighton exposes how unauthorized market vendors and "patient-pleasing" doctors are accelerating #AMR in West Africa, where last-resort drugs are already failing. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Street sellers and private physicians fuel antibiotic overuse

Limited access to medical professionals and irresponsible prescribing practices are contributing to antimicrobial resistance in low-resource settings.
