#30DayChartChallenge Día 24: ¡Usando datos de la @WHO! 🌐 Hoy comparamos la cobertura de vacunación DTP3 (% niños 1 año) entre países agrupados por nivel de ingresos (Banco Mundial, 2000-2022). #TimeseriesWeek #SocialData #GlobalHealth

El gráfico muestra:
✅ ¡Gran mejora en todos los grupos hasta ~2019!
⚠️ ¡Pero una brecha enorme persiste! Los países de ingresos altos (amarillo 🟡) cerca del objetivo 95% (línea rosa).
📉 Los países de ingresos bajos (azul índigo 🔵), aunque mejoraron mucho desde el 2000, se quedaron sobre el 70% y sufrieron un retroceso post-pandemia.

Un reflejo claro de la #EquidadEnSalud (o la falta de ella) a nivel global. ¡El acceso a vacunas básicas no es igual para todos!

Gráfico de líneas que muestra las tendencias de la cobertura estimada de vacunación DTP3 (%) en niños de 1 año, desde el año 2000 hasta 2022, para cuatro grupos de ingresos de países según el Banco Mundial. El eje Y va de 0% a 100%. El eje X muestra los años. Hay cuatro líneas de colores distintos: 'Alto' (amarillo/oro, cerca del 95%), 'Medio-Alto' (naranja, subiendo a >90%), 'Medio-Bajo' (azul grisáceo, subiendo de ~65% a ~85%), y 'Bajo' (azul índigo, subiendo de ~49% a ~70% con un descenso reciente). Una línea horizontal discontinua rosa marca el objetivo del 95%. Fuente: WHO/UNICEF Estimates (via WHO GHO).

"In 2021, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., now serving as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, seemingly endorsed the idea of 'race as #biology ' when he stated:

'We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites because their immune system is better than ours.'

This statement reflects a long history of erroneous beliefs that continue to shape #medicine today."

In a statement, #LeeZeldin suggested that #EnvironmentalJustice — which the #EPA defined in 2013 as “the fair treatment & meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income” w/respect to #EnvironmentalLaw — was tantamount to discrimination. [BS]

“President Trump was elected with a mandate from the American people,” [wrong] Zeldin said. “Part of this mandate includes the elimination of *forced* discrimination programs.”

“If anybody needed a clearer sign that this administration gives not a single damn for the people of the #UnitedStates, this is it,” Matthew Tejada, a fmr #EPA ofcl who is now a snr VP for #EnvironmentalHealth at the Natural Resources Defense Fund, a nonprofit.
Molly Vaseliou, an EPA spox, described the moves as *organizational improvements* that align w/ #Trump’s orders to end *wasteful* spending & #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs.

#LeeZeldin’s move effectively ends 3 decades of work at the #EPA to try to ease the #pollution that burdens #poor & #minority communities, which are frequently located near #highways, #PowerPlants, #industrial plants & other polluting facilities. Studies have shown that people who live in those #communities have higher rates of #asthma, #HeartDisease & other #health problems, compared w/the national average.

The #Trump admin intends to eliminate #EPA offices responsible for addressing the disproportionately high levels of #pollution facing #poor communities, acc/to a memo from #LeeZeldin, the agency administrator.

In the internal memo, viewed by NYT, Zeldin informed agency leaders that he was directing “the reorganization & elimination” of the offices of #EnvironmentalJustice at all 10 EPA regional offices as well as the one in Washington.

"Among the many targets of the executive orders from Trump’s first few weeks in office are the over 70 million adults in the United States who report having a disability. That’s about one in four American adults, according to 2022 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—people who now face threats to their employment, education, and more."

4/ Public health experts, especially those focused on HIV, are speaking out. They argue this could hinder vital research, particularly in marginalized communities. Removing these terms could make it harder to address critical health issues for transgender and nonbinary individuals. #HIVPrevention #HealthEquity
