Our work on the political economy of adenoviral vectors is among few papers connecting the financialization of drug development to the scientific history of ebola. Important context for thinking critically about which players are on the scene responding to the current outbreak. @cmorten.bsky.social
About 45 people at our inaugural Healthcare in Palestine interest group at @societygim.bsky.social 2026 with guests from Doctors Against Genocide, the Nonviolent Medicaid Army and ZinesforFalastin. Register at the link if you couldn't make this session but want to stay connected.
A horrifying new Ebola outbreak is underway. There's no approved vaccine for the new strain causing the outbreak.
@sariahmed.bsky.social @mattherder.bsky.social Janice Graham & I published a paper last year on the history of J&J's Ebola vaccine—and why it divested in 2023 from new vaccine research.
Read our work in Social Science & Medicine on vectors, "platforms," and the political economy of vaccine development as it relates to J&J's adenoviral vector. Health research systems can be built to understand and solve public health problems, but that's not what we observed here unfortunately. 1/

The beautiful artwork throughout the issue is by the brilliant working class artist and organizer Anita Knisely-Durham.
Read the whole issue to learn about the collapse of the "international rules based order," the lessons we can draw from the deep well of indigenous knowledges in the Americas and beyond, and so much more. universityofthepoor.org/new-conditio...
