INTERNATIONAL IMMUNIZATION NEWS
“Officials at WHO Conference on SARS Say Fight Isn’t Over” Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com) (06/18/03) P. D3; Wonacott, Peter
The World Health Organization (WHO) has lifted its travel advisory against Taiwan, and mainland China and Hong Kong have reported no new severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) infections for the sixth straight day. The first WHO global conference on SARS has begun in Kuala Lumpur, but participants warn that the fight is not finished and say that they must prepare for a new kind of regional threat. Even Malaysia, which had only five cases of SARS, was affected by disrupted business and tourist travel. Taiwan, Beijing, Toronto, and Hong Kong are still on the WHO’s list of places of recent SARS local transmission, and Beijing is the only one still on the travel advisory. Toronto is still struggling with SARS problems, with five new probable cases over the weekend.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
