Should kids just “get the disease” instead of being vaccinated?
Can vaccines really overwhelm a child’s immune system?
Who decides what vaccines we get—and why?

Thank God @DrTedros is safe but if the WHO DGs safety can’t be assured what hope for health workers and patients. International Humanitarian Law isn’t working for those whose lives depend on it. Concerningly still waiting on news of the #nurses involved.
This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid.
60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. WHO is deeply concerned for their safety.
This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional.
The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care.
This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

3/4 of unpaid care work is performed by women, which limits their career opportunities and earnings.
On the #DayOfCare, we must commit to change the way care is organised, to fairly reward the critical work women do in health and care.
