So many years to get here.
Thank you everyone who supported this along the way.
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that kills mosquitoes feeding on treated persons. In this trial in Kenya, ivermectin given once per month for 3 months led to a 26% lower incidence of malaria than albendazole. Full trial results: nej.md/4lIyNzB

¿Y si hubiera otras aproximaciones para combatir la malaria en África? ¿Y si un investigador maravilloso como @Carlos_Chaccour hubiera liderado un ensayo prometedor sobre el terreno? ¿Y si se pasa por Sensible y Resistente para contárnoslo? Vaya suerte tenemos…

Cada año más de 500.000 personas mueren por malaria a pesar de contar con diagnóstico, tratamiento y vacunas. En este episodio analizamos por qué seguimos perdiendo y qué estrategias nuevas, como BOHEMIA, pueden cambiar la transmisión. who.int/teams/global-malaria…

Can you please stop calling Maduro the “President of a sovereign nation”? @CNN He is the illegitimate usurper of a sovereign nation. This falsehood totally changes the moral calculus.

Venezolanos, son horas decisivas, sepan que estamos listos para la gran operación de la reconstrucción de nuestra nación.
DIRECTO | Decenas de venezolanos se han concentrado en la Puerta del Sol de Madrid para celebrar la captura de Nicolás Maduro. Al son de la música folclórica llanera, algunos bailan enfundados en la bandera tricolor venezolana shorturl.at/sD3sv

Si usted no es venezolano y no sabe lo que es vivir 27 años bajo una tiranía, no ha perdido 22lbs de peso por las políticas económicas socialistas del régimen, no sabe qué es emigrar y tener años sin ver a su familia, no sabe qué es andar como un paria sin documentos, no ha vivido represión y tortura de sus seres queridos; sepa entonces que la superioridad moral es de muy mal gusto. De pésimo gusto, de hecho.

Hoy Venezuela comienza una nueva etapa en su historia.
Un año que empieza con libertad, dignidad y futuro.
Se cierra una etapa oscura de dictadura y se abre el camino de un país libre, con esperanza y oportunidades para el pueblo venezolano.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

AI-generated "letters to the editor"
Dr. Carlos Chaccour, University of Navarra, noticed something fishy about a letter to the editor the New England Journal of Medicine received shortly after it published a paper of his on malaria treatment in July.

The idea is to decouple the journals from the review step. They’ll still exist, but they’ll need to add other value. They’ll highlight, curate, add new perspectives. If they do a good job they can still be prestigious (like Scientific American or Wired). You’ll be proud that your reviewed preprint was highlighted by Nature, just like you’re proud when your paper is highlighted by the New York Times. You'll add that to your C.V. You'll still read them because they'll have good content.
