Incredible news! The first malaria vaccine has arrived in Sierra Leone. Children will start receiving the vaccine in Q1 2024 💉 and bracelets soon after :) 📿
The Malaria burden is high in
#SierraLeone
as it accounts for over two million hospital visits per year, of which children under-five years of age account for one million of these cases. This preventable disease also accounts for 25 per cent of child deaths in the country.

Let’s repeat this again: Measles is one of the most infectious diseases. A person with measles can cough in a room, leave, and hours later, you could catch the virus from the droplets in the air that they left behind. NO other virus can do that —> Vaccinate your kids!

Big shoutout to
@DukeEcon
. Dropping letter grades for Introductory Econ. Potentially high upside: creating a welcoming environment for students from different backgrounds, emphasizing learning instead of scoring, lowering stress to perform for first years.
Beginning Fall 2019, Econ 101 will no longer be giving students letter grades; instead it will use "satisfactory/unsatisfactory" grading. Read more about the change and what students and faculty think.

“Measles is so contagious that an unvaccinated person has a 90% chance of catching the disease if they're near someone who has it. The virus can survive for 2hrs in a room where an infected person sneezed”—> Any child too young to get vaccine will likely get infected & could die!

Great thread! Also, one of the many reasons I am excited to join
@PrincetonEcon
, we have a reading group on “Economics and Morality” that Roland Bénabou just started.
1/ What's the relationship between markets and morality?
I'd define markets as incentives, e.g. you need to pay someone to make them work for you, or you need to pay someone to build something for you.
In a way, morality starts where markets end.
