The current outbreak of the Ebola Bundibugyo virus is rapidly expanding morbidity and mortality in Eastern Africa, with the World Health Organization (WHO) leading and coordinating the response to the outbreak, and just recently raising its threat level assessment to very high for East Africa, while maintaining a low global risk level — at least
The United States was formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO) by President Donald J. Trump on January 22, 2026. Trump signed an executive order giving one-year notice on January 20, 2025. His administration cited several alleged and questionable reasons for doing so: WHO had “profound failures” and “mishandled” the COVID-19 pandemic. They claimed
Henrik Lerner’s 2025 “first of its kind One Health book,” Ethics for One Health Approaches: A Roadmap for Future Directions, analyzes the literature of the One Health Initiative (OHI) team as part of a thematic review of the field’s development from 2004 to June 2023. Overall, the book’s historical perspective is the antithesis of others
All current and most past scientific data indicate no significant difference between the benefits and risks associated with approved traditional vaccines compared to mRNA vaccines. Yet, President Trump continues to doggedly support his appointed Health and Human Services (HSS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his bizarre, inexplicable, irrational, dangerous, injurious, unsafe, and toxic quest
Accelerating human and animal vaccine development against the myriad of zoonotic diseases has been a prime strategy contained within the modern One Medicine-One Health movement. There is a vast and varied array of infectious animal diseases that can spread to humans. They are caused and sourced worldwide from viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Well known, high profile
The One Health concept/approach must be central for governments to adopt collaborative, cross-sector policies in order to safeguard public health, biodiversity, and national security. This was addressed by the One Health Initiative in a previous article on why and how to apply the concept, which lays the groundwork in making the case, but it is
One Health can be a complex and sometimes jargon-filled concept. Put simply: “One Health is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain optimal health for people, animals, plants and our environment.” To simplify the message for political leaders and their constituents of how “One Health implementation will help protect
A valid argument can be made for President Donald J. Trump’s May 2020 promotion of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines being a “historic healthcare achievement.” His supporters pointed out that Operation Warp Speed was a success in accelerating vaccine development despite and notwithstanding critics highlighting some administration mixed messaging and downplaying of the virus. President Trump instituted a
Most countries, in one form or another, recognize they have an obligation to those who serve in defense of their nation. The United States has a long tradition of expressing its appreciation for those who serve in the military, and one fundamental aspect is providing health care services to veterans and their families. There is
In every country of the world, coordinating the response of public health authorities in a pandemic, ensuring that all the various government agencies work together, is critical to controlling a pandemic and containing its worst consequences. People’s lives depend on it, as we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. And we all know that the next
The Big Picture and the Big Concept, “One Health” Having gone through the COVID pandemic, there is a tendency to see it as “mission accomplished” and turn to other priorities. A mistake because unless we buy into the “One Health umbrella approach,” the interface of human, animal, plant, and ecosystem vulnerabilities will catch up with
South Korea experienced unexpected tragedy in the form of a lethal crowd crush over Halloween weekend in Itaewon, a popular district in Seoul for teenagers and young people to go out. After a similar incident occurred almost exactly a year ago at Astroworld Festival in Houston (read more about that below), the questions arise: Can
