  1. Taiye selasi explains why it is easier for Africans to accept child mortality. Her reasoning goes to the are of life being chaos and suffering and therefore it's better to leave beautiful things out of it.
    She says, because Africans are very aware of beauty in life and the world they hesitate to name it.
    Don't draw beauty into your chaotic mess by naming it.

    So you don't name a baby before it's second week

  10. You are right, an astonishing graph about how child mortality dropped.

    But in the USA they will now reverse the trend. As the article says: child mortality is now such an 'uncommon experience that people have forgotten and want to ban vaccines.'

    The USA will see many more children and parents suffering.

  20. John Amato raises alarming concerns about a report from The Lancet Medical Journal.
