Millions of children at risk as vaccine uptake stalls

LONDON — Progress in vaccinating children against a variety of life-threatening diseases has stalled in the past two decades — and even gone backwards in some countries — a new global study suggests.The situation has been made worse by the Covid pandemic, leaving millions of children unprotected from diseases such as measles, tuberculosis and polio.The researchers are calling for a concerted effort to provide better and more equal access to vaccines.Child health experts warn that cuts to international aid budgets that fund vaccination programs, combined with vaccine scepticism, are creating a "perfect storm".The global childhood vaccination program has been a huge success.Since 1974, more than four billion children have been vaccinated, preventing an estimated 150 million...

Two European satellites mimic total solar eclipse as scientists aim to study corona

PARIS — A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipse by flying in precise formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures at the Paris Air Show on Monday.Launched late last year, the orbiting duo have churned out simulated solar eclipses since March while zooming tens of thousands of kilometers above Earth.Flying 150 meters apart, one satellite blocks the sun like the moon does during a natural total solar eclipse as the other aims its telescope at the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere that forms a crown or halo of light.It's an intricate, prolonged dance requiring extreme precision by the cube-shaped spacecraft, less than 1.5 meters in size.Their flying accuracy needs to be...

Deadly superbugs thrive as access to antibiotics falters in India

DELHI — It's a grim paradox, doctors say.On the one hand, antibiotics are being overused until they no longer work, driving resistance and fuelling the rise of deadly superbugs. On the other hand, people are dying because they can't access these life-saving drugs.A new study by the non-profit Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) looked at access to antibiotics for nearly 1.5 million cases of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative (CRGN) infections across eight major low- and middle-income countries, including India, Brazil and South Africa. CRGN bacteria are superbugs resistant to last-line antibiotics — yet only 6.9% of patients received appropriate treatment in the countries studied.India bore the lion's share of CRGN infections and treatment...
