The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>>The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced a $40 million initiative to support the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines in Africa. ...

Fabulous news. The foundation is a model for the world.

I so totally agree. What great news for the Holidays.

This is the best news of the week. Millions of lives will be saved, illnesses will be prevented. Bill outlined what was coming with COVID with a Ted Talk years before the Pandemic--he essentially showed us the path of what we could expect as a real health threat--and warned us to prepare. He was spot on.

His insight, his lifelong commitment to public health and health access for those who can't afford is a Blessing to the planet.
