Day 1 of the @FHF_global Summit is off to a great start. Thanks to the hundreds of participants and partners who have joined us in Rio (physically and virtually) to share their climate-health insights and solutions!
.@SecRubio was right to maintain America’s public health programs, specifically our counter-malaria initiative.
Robert Redfield identifies a key reason why: the Chinese Communist Party.
“China is playing the long game, and it knows that malaria control is a powerful diplomatic tool. Through its Belt and Road initiative, Beijing has already ramped up its malaria projects, strategically targeting key African nations to deepen political and military ties. It is using medical aid to buy influence, sway elections, and push its communist agenda, all while undermining American interests. Extending our malaria commitments keeps China at bay.”
In this new episode of The Best Worst Thing, our CEO @MartinMEdlund sits down with @gatesfoundation's @philipwelkhoff to explore how cutting-edge technologies—like gene-drives & new vaccines—are bringing us closer to malaria eradication.
