On trial in the court of world public opinion: Militarized Fossil Capital and its political instruments". The article understates the situation with: "The overwhelming majority of child deaths are preventable. Adequate nutrition, water, sanitation, vaccines and antibiotics can save many lives. And it’s not always a matter of money; often there are cultural or political roadblocks. Malnutrition was a contributing factor in nearly half of these deaths."

(10) Important News: The AAAS awarded the Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award to Drs. Sarath Gunatilake and Channa Jayasumana who "faced death threats and claims of research misconduct while working to determine the cause of a kidney disease epidemic that has claimed tens of thousands of lives in their home country of Sri Lanka and around the world. Ultimately, their advocacy led to the culprit, an herbicide called glyphosate, being banned in several affected countries," according to a 2/4/2019 AAAS press release. The press release has since been removed from AAAS website. AAAS has also cancelled the award ceremony. US Right to Know captured it and have it posted at this link.
