The social devastation caused by the pandemic response, which the WHO claims as further justification for increasing its power, resulted almost entirely from the ‘lockdown’ policies promoted by WHO, WEF, and their private sponsors. /1

The death of every child is an enormous tragedy.
In 2021:
♦️ 5 million children died before their 5th birthday
♦️ 2.1 million older children & young people lost their lives
That’s 1 loss every 4.4 seconds!
Most of these deaths were preventable with access to quality healthcare

Some good news…
Globally, since 2000:
↘️ The under-five mortality rate fell by 50%
↘️ Mortality rates in older children & youth dropped by 36%
↘️ Stillbirth rates decreased by 35%
However, gains have reduced significantly since 2010.

Few dozen cases of local dengue transmission, more than has been observed before (bit of a theme for #infectiousdiseases in the recent past...)
An infected traveller would have returned to France, been bitten by a local mozzie, with onward transmission from biting new humans.

Very pleased to present our recent study of #endocytosis in #apicomplexans that draws on #K13 and drug-resistance in #malaria to learn of a highly unusual endocytic machinery in #Toxoplasma with a deep evolutionary origin. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
Using the #Plasmodium #artemisinin-resistance genes as initial leads, some proximity proteomics, and a good deal of super-res microscopy, a comprehensive molecular model of endocytic pits integrated into the cell’s complex (IMC) pellicle was achieved.
Remarkably, this superstructure is highly stable with the typically ephemeral proteins rigidly anchored at this site. Even more unusual, the complex is preassembled in daughter cells before the plasma membrane is even recruited. (and yes, Toxo daughter cells ARE gorgeous!)
