NZ Being part of @WHO is valuable for all countries and people.
Prevention is better than cure.
USA helped WHO stop Ebola outbreak in West Africa so it never spread world wide.
NZ benefits from international vaccine and disease knowledge.
We contribute too. We help Pacific peoples.

Thank you for sharing so much public health knowledge!
Moving beyond the US Center for Disease Control, is there an authoritative alternative available wider public?
Years ago had a friend Charlie Hook M... 'hook' because he had made some bomb, mishandled it, & blown off his hand. Hook worked well. We did fencing together. Wire never slipped ..

After the job, D will sometimes drive the truck to its work site. This night work means companies can keep their trucks working during the day when other people need their services. No down time for the truck, as long as D & his team do their job.
Imagine working on engines, night after night.
My friend D works as a diesel truck mechanic - at night!
He gets to work late afternoon & carefully checks all parts needed for the jobs that night are there ready for use.
Then D starts into the complex, sometimes physically challenging work of servicing truck engines, way into the night!

Day 10 at #COP30🇧🇷
The text that dropped this morning fell short of what’s needed to address the climate crisis. The legacy of Belém hangs in the balance as countries take part in the final hours of negotiations.

"We do want to express our deep concern that we could not reach consensus on highlighting the role of the IPCC as the source of the best available science, or…on this being, the past 11 years have been the warmest on record and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events."

If voting is a form of communicating, what are saying?
Look at this massive parking lot in China, all covered in solar and equipped with EV chargers. Utterly dwarfing anything like it in the US, AFAIK. english.news.cn/20250918/85a...
