This is truly an amazing medical feat. Malaria killed an estimated 400,000 people last year in 2019 alone according @WHO. Looking forward to this number dwindling.
Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." https://t.co/i1hcYBhbvb
Everyone is suddenly interested in Iridium.
Want to know more about these sats?

I made this sat tracking website at least 5 years ago as I have an iridium device.
@ashleevance Rocket Lab and Blue Origin have too different of a culture. Blue Origin has huge teams of engineers working on potential programs. Rocket Lab builds the impossible every damn day with small teams of world class engineers who have both depth and breadth. It isn't comparable
On this Iridium deal and RKLB's next launch
The distance that SpaceX and Rocket Lab are putting between themselves and rivals is starting to look insurmountable. Rocket Lab still needs Neutron to fly and fly often and this is no small feat.
But these two companies have put together so many pieces and remain the only ones that can launch faster than everyone else after ALL these years. They have just figured things out that others can't.
Rocket Lab is so valuable now that the math gets hard. But it just feels more and more like we head toward some world where it's merged with Blue Origin
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Reminder that electricity in France is virtually carbon free. You can completely eliminate climate change as a consideration, fully solve the problem, and the environmental left will just move on to something else. They donât love the planet. They hate life, themselves, and you.
@TanguiLeDantec On aurait pu dire pareil avec le covid: Le problĂšme, câest que si vous vaccinez ou vous prenez paxlovid, vous allez vous dire que lâon peut continuer Ă vivre comme avant, et donc que rien ne doit changer.
The surrender to Iran is beyond anything anyone could have imagined at the start of the war.
America has lost wars before.
But it never just went down a list and gave a country everything it ever wanted like this, things that werenât even under discussion.
Truly amazing.
Absolutely insane revelations about Tulsi Gabbard.
Throughout her public life, she's been a puppet for a Hindu cult.
Washington Post got access to 25,000 pages of documents including directives from Tulsi Gabbard's cult leader telling her which policy positions to take and how to present herself throughout her career.
It matches her record in Congress. At one point, she was instructed to say "Itâs not a âboohoo, I donât get to go to the partyâ situation, Wolf" during a CNN interview, and used that exact phrase. This is one of several examples of her taking direct orders about what to say on TV. They told her what to tweet about too.
The cult set up fake accounts to boost her on social media. Gabbard was aware, at one point telling them to add a photo to a profile.
An email records a phone call where she was yelled at, but Tulsi is reminded at the end that "we still love you."
This woman was always a freak, which is why she ended up in the MAGA coalition. Anti-vaxxers, criminals, racist, and a woman in a weird cult all end up as allies. Trumpism is Kakistocracy.
