The perils of RFK Junior’s anti-vaccine leadership for public health – The Lancet

With global measles cases surging more than 20% in a year, the spectre of an anti-vaccine leader like Robert F Kennedy Junior at the helm of US health policy has alarmed public health experts. Kennedy, a well-known vaccine sceptic, has long promoted dangerous misconceptions about vaccines, and his influence could worsen an already dire situation.
WHO reported that measles cases increased globally from 8·6 million in 2022 to 10·3 million in 2023. Tragically, most of these infections occurred in low-income, conflict-ridden regions, where vulnerable populations are already struggling with inadequate access to health care. Even worse, the growing vaccine hesitancy spurred by pandemic-era disruptions has contributed to these rising numbers, making a future under Kennedy’s leadership potentially catastrophic.
A stark example of the devastating impact of vaccine misinformation is Samoa’s 2019 measles outbreak. In this island nation of 200 000, more than 5700 people were infected and 83 people died, most of whom were young children. Samoa’s Ministry of Health cited Kennedy’s visit and his rhetoric as exacerbating vaccine hesitancy at a crucial moment. Kennedy’s non-profit, Children’s Health Defense, contributed to this atmosphere of mistrust just months before the outbreak. Samoa’s experience underscores how even one prominent anti-vaccine figure can ignite a public health crisis…

Finally, a fully biodegradable plastic – Darcy Hitchcock

It’s called alkyl SP2 and it breaks down in saltwater within hours and in ten days in the soil. No microplastics left behind and it’s not made with petrochemicals.

Unlike many other “biodegradable” plastics that fail to decompose in salty environments, alkyl SP2 breaks down entirely within hours in seawater. In soil, it biodegrades in just ten days, leaving behind valuable nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Further, because it is a microplastic-free biodegradable plastic, it doesn’t leave behind any toxins.
