Italy is most at risk in Europe for heat-related deaths because of both stronger ageing and stronger warming doi.org/10.1016/S2468-… Problem is, I suspect a lot of those older Italian people are currently online posting climate denying s**t

WOW. Cervical cancer vanishing among HPV-vaccinated cohorts in 🇩🇰. First cohorts to be offered #HPVvaccine (in late 2008) corresponds to the 25-29 age group in 2021. #VaccinesWork Will be interesting to follow effect on younger cohorts, affected by negative #dkmedier coverage.

HPV vaccine uptake declined substantially after negative media coverage. Recovery has been slow and costly... Sadly 26,000 fewer vaccinated girl (march 1, 2019). New article with Matthias Schmidtblaicher and @noelTbrewer doi.org/10.1016/j.vacc… #dkmedier #stophpv #VaccinesWork

As #climate shocks begin to cascade we are headed for some very difficult times ahead. A resurgent #FarRight dividing our communities will add massively to this, futher undermining resilience - and creating a downwards spiral. We must urgently invest in community cohesion now!

Fentanyl is now almost certainly the biggest killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 49. Economists may have at last found a convincing explanation for the crisis econ.st/4d2fCMQ 👇

Diese Grafik* aus einer Fraunhofer-Studie hat zurecht Wirbel gemacht: Sie zeigt für neue regelbare Anlagen, dass eine Kombi von Freiflächen-PV mit Batterien Strom günstiger bereitstellen kann als neue Gas- oder Biomasse-Kraftwerke. Selbst Haushalts-PV + Speicher können mithalten.
