I've decided to stop writing on this site, it's not what it was. You can find me at McDonnell at Bsky.

Delighted to be given the opportunity to speak at the 4th ministerial meeting on AMR. Where I outlined our research that estimates that there's 28:1 return on investment for treatments to combat resistance.

@LibyaLiberty @ButchRahman Thanks for sharing the article. It’s seems like there’s a range of views to the question of who’s better for them.

Ultimately I see voting differently to you, not as an endorsement of a person, but a means to push the world towards better or less terrible outcome.

[Anthony McDonnell🇺🇦 @apmcdonnell]

@JCMorrison74 @LibyaLiberty @ButchRahman If you think that it will be no worse under Trump than Harris then fair enough. I really hope you're right.

But I think it's reasonable if someone thinks that Trump would make the situation worse, for them to hold their nose and vote for the less bad outcome.

@JCMorrison74 @LibyaLiberty @ButchRahman There aren't words that capture how beyond horrific what's happening in Gaza is. But that doesn't mean it can't get worse. What food gets in could be cut off, bombing of civilians might increase, the situation may go on longer under Trump than Harris.

[Anthony McDonnell🇺🇦 @apmcdonnell]

@LibyaLiberty @ButchRahman Do you think the people in Gaza would be worse off under a Trump presidency than Harris?

@jamesrbuk Sort of makes you wonder why god didn't step in four years ago to stop the obvious fraud.

@DrEricDing I love your optimism, I don't believe it, but I'm still so grateful for it.

@Victorshi2020 I have voted in 15 elections in two countries, I've never had to queue, nor walk for more than 15 minutes to get to a polling station. That is what democracy should look like.

@JudithFreedman Thanks for answering. In 🇮🇪, my understanding is a married couple can elect to transfer unused tax credits, and money under a tax band to the higher earner. I’m sure there are complexities and a need for safeguards. But also helps a lot if one person can’t work.

In a new policy brief @katklemperer, @JavierHGuzmanC and I outline three steps the new EU commission can take to stop AMR

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

Within the EU, $15bn a year is spent on treating drug resistant infections.

Building on momentum from #UNGA, @katklemperer, @JavierHGuzmanC, & @apmcdonnell offer an idea for how the new EU commission can take a global leadership role in tackling AMR:

Great synopsis from Wellcome’s @_Jeremy_Knox on everything that’s happening on Antimicrobial Resistance at the UN

As world leaders meet to discuss antimicrobial resistance at #UNGA79, timely and powerful new analysis from my former colleague ⁦@apmcdonnell⁩ of ⁦@CGDev⁩ about the economic burden of drug-resistant infections (via ⁦@FT⁩ $) https://t.co/h3YGJfODMJ

@Prof_Yadav_SCM @FT @CGDev Thank you Prashant!

[Jeremy Farrar @JeremyFarrar]

Antimicrobial resistance - dangerous in so many ways. Always worth reading or listening to Anthony MacDonnell @apmcdonnell @CGDev https://t.co/4BCS31EX0i

[Anthony McDonnell🇺🇦 @apmcdonnell]

@JeremyFarrar @CGDev Thank you Jeremy, that’s very kind!

Antimicrobial resistance is dangerous in more ways than one https://t.co/nYaf2M4PoB | opinion

[Anthony McDonnell🇺🇦 @apmcdonnell]

Today, the world’s governments meet at the UN General Assembly to discuss a new global declaration on AMR. As I outline in the @FT, whether driven by public health concerns or hard-headed financial decisions, the case for action is undeniable. #UNGA79 https://t.co/nW7gvGOym0
