They have cut infant mortality by 40 percent globally and by more than 50 percent in Africa. Throughout history vaccines have saved more lives than almost any other intervention.”<br/>#VaccinesWork #Vaccination #Science #Scicomm #Measles #Medicine <br/><br/><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03412-3">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03412-3</a> 2024-10-24T02:45:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5cmaup7jjrf9qqe8h53mzhsvhjhtze8ywfggny8qqpq4ktducxszyr8jke7culfa6gej5rw477ffdmt0y5e4px98r7pgfpqpqt7j3yfquv28x7u LibreOffice 24.8 Released, This is What’s New.<br/>I have used LibreOffice off and on for years, but with increasingly annoying Microsoft Office 365 issues at work I have come back to it full time on MacOS.
