The Dengue Epidemic: A New Test of Latin America’s Health Sector
Since the beginning of the year, dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, has spread rapidly in South America, once again testing the resilience of the region’s public health systems. The Pan American Health Organization has issued a warning for the Americas, where more than 8.1 million dengue cases were reported through May, more than three times the number in the same period last year. The disease has killed at least 3,600 individuals. Worryingly, experts warn that significant dengue outbreaks could be the norm going forward, as climate change leads to longer and warmer rainy seasons, ideal conditions for mosquitos.
In Argentina, Brazil, and elsewhere, dengue is straining public health resources and leading to questions about the region’s preparedness, including the capacity to access and distribute vaccines and to communicate disease prevention guidance. This follows the devastating impacts in the region of COVID-19 that revealed a range of vulnerabilities and highlighted inadequate spending on public health.

Mexico has been an electoral democracy for nearly 25 years, and has experienced healthy changes in party control over the years. Why then, do multiple indices measuring democratic freedom and human rights place Mexico solidly in the mid-range?

    With the hindsight from 2024, this video makes me sad for the United States and the world. The Covid Public Health response was an abysmal failure throughout, especially the lockdowns and the gene therapy they call a "vaccine," followed by the attempted federal mandate via OSHA and the financial incentives for large employers to enforce the mandates. Yes, I said gene therapy because that's what the MRNA shots are called in their patents. There was never a need for a novel vaccine. There are now literally hundreds of studies showing early treatment with off-label therapeutics (hydroxychloriquin, ivermectin, Ascorbic acid (C), corticosteroids, thymine, Vitamins D, Zinc) significantly lowered mortality in at-risk groups. Hundreds of thousands of Americans did not need to die but they did for the sake of greed and the abdication of basic science from medical and academic institutions. The more time passes, the more information is revealed on the failure and oft times blatant lies of the FDA, CDC, NIH, WHO, etc. They knew from the clinical data that these vaccines were not safe and they never even bothered to test them for transmission disruption. There are over 18,000 deaths reported in VAERS and that's an underreporting by a factor of 30. I have lost all trust in the government and these institutions of science and the medical journals and the NGO's and the pharmaceutical industry. Every one of these people should be out there admitting they got it wrong and demand accountability for the falsehoods but they wont. Pharma owns medicine and science now.

Back in his day the only way American bumpkins could be subverted by Russian and Chinese messaging was via a sketchy shortwave broadcast. Now they're imbibing it daily on social media in posts masquerading as American accounts. Invariably the accounts peddle disaffection and lies about American institutions and various sectors of American society. The right wing bumpkins pick it up and amplify it. These same poisoned agitprop victims vote for criminals and grifters like Trump, MTG, Boebert, Ted Cruz, and a dozen more of the worst bumpkin grifters in the country.

  • @ministeronaldstimphil5448

    I am Haitian, but these discussions seem to be about a Haiti that is quite different from the one I know. They are discussing Haiti through the lens of a Big Brother mentality when in fact Haiti's internal conflicts are endemic of hearts that need to be changed and people that need to be educated about the truth. For instance, this female military personnel is rambling about the preservation of Haiti's culture and art, but her remarks are a deflection from the gold, the cobalt, the iridium and the oil that are secretly coveted. The international coalition puts up a fake caring front, but their true goal is to aggressively take advantage of Haiti's natural resources. They tend to take Haitians for imbeciles and African savages who do not know their left from their right. However, they are very wrong. And they will find out soon enough.

    Foreign countries are obligated to approach this country and breech Washington DC with armed forces and/or other enforcement services even if they are privately funded to get us to privately discuss the terms of a transfer of authority over the United States during a much needed stabilization effort that I can only offer a conditional surrender due to the firm position that I seem to not really need to specify upon at this point in time. I do know that countries are not going to have enough of a solution to replace the infrastructure comprised of millions of Americans of whom would hopefully understand that things wouldn't change but the funding it has unethicall6 taken from myself and others sources and chosen to misappropriate and perpetuate a paradoxical state of ill ridden anti-state, anti-conservative and propaganda dependent tandems and chaotic ways of targeting people who are I'm sure awaiting to be able to express their concerns and openly reveal their capabilities and and effective solutions without risking their lives or the lives of like minded people, who tend to be the working class or keep the fundamentally driven by NOT POLITICAL OR PREMEDITATED RACE DISCRIMINATION DISPLAYS OF INHUMANE ENJOYMENT OR SADISTIC FULFILLMENT OPENLY MUTILATING MY VULNERABLE STATE OF ENSLAVED TO HE DEHUMANIZED TYPE OF DISGUSTING...AND I AM TOLD NOW BY EVEN PEOPLE WHO AREN'T FOND OF ME THAT I AM THE ONE LORD, KING AND ACCORDING TO EVIDENCE, A PROPHET/MESSIAH?

    What boggles my mind is that all of the criticism against Russia can also be found in the so called "Western free world". The billionaire ruling class dictates who gets to be elected and the pleb only get to vote for those who've been bought off by the billionaire. If your politicians and lawmakers have been bought off by the billionaire class, can you even call yourself a true democracy? The only difference I see is that Russia is the last Christian nation in the world, and in order to preserve their values and traditions don't allow Western LGBT degeneracy to be displayed in public. That of course makes the West hate Russia.
