Tuesday, April 25 — 3 most significant news

Every day, I ask ChatGPT to read the top 1000 trending news and post only the significant ones. No junk news, ever: if nothing significant happens, nothing gets posted.

Quick interruption.

You might start getting these emails in spam folder this week. That is because I will change the email domain and email servers like Gmail or Outlook don’t trust new domains. If you miss an email, please check your spam folder and if it’s there, mark them as “not spam”.

Today ChatGPT read 1537 articles and gave 8 of them a score over 6.5.

After removing duplicates and repeats (and skipping a couple unimportant events), here is today’s most significant news:

[7.5] WHO launch "The Big Catch-Up" to restore immunization levels in over 100 countries. — UN News, Reuters

The WHO, UNICEF, the GAVI vaccine alliance, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are launching a campaign called "The Big Catch-Up" to help countries recover from decreased immunization levels due to the pandemic. Over 100 countries experienced reduced immunization, leading to outbreaks of preventable diseases and a decline in routine childhood vaccinations. The campaign aims to strengthen healthcare workforces, improve service delivery, and build trust in vaccines. Focus will be given to the 20 countries with the highest number of missed vaccinations in 2021, including Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan, which account for 75% of the children who missed vaccinations that year.

The parliamentary committee investigating long COVID has recommended a nationally coordinated research program, with some funding to be used to research links between COVID-19 and other severe diseases.
