Dec 10, 2023, marks the 75th anniversary of the founding commitment of the modern human rights movement, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).1 75 years on, the world is tested and tormented by an agonising array of conflicts in which human rights violations are not secondary outcomes, but rather central to such conflicts. Ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, apartheid, sexual violence as a tool of state terror, and the deliberate targeting of health-care facilities and workers are part of multiple ongoing conflicts in 2023.

The phrase, "the pandemic is a portal" has been repeated endlessly since the COVID-19 pandemic began, sometimes as a meditation, other times as a demand, and occasionally as a statement of fact. But now, as societies move on in the wake of the pandemic, where are we in this portal? The answer depends largely on your theory of change and your role in the intersecting social movements that have engaged in dialogue and action around the expansive global and local injustices related to the pandemic and the inequities it highlighted.

We read with enthusiasm the cohort study by James Peter Allinson and colleagues,1 who estimated the risk and burden of premature adult mortality from respiratory disease attributable to lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in the early childhoods of 5362 participants born in Great Britain in March, 1946. Cohort participants were contacted 25 times from birth until 2019. Although the study has addressed an important public health question, we are concerned about the assessment of exposure.

The Article by James Peter Allinson and colleagues1 has aroused special interest from paediatric and respiratory physicians and researchers. This birth cohort study, which spans about eight decades, has highlighted the close relationship between lung health during early childhood and the survival rate from respiratory disease during adulthood. The authors claim that impaired lung function is a mediator linking early childhood lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) to respiratory-cause adult mortality, independent of socioeconomic circumstances and adult smoking.
Seif Shaheen (2023-12-09). Correspondence] Lower respiratory tract infections in early childhood. thelancet.com ![]()
Historical and prospective cohort studies have shown that early lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), especially pneumonia in the first 2 years of life, is associated with impaired adult lung function. This exposure is also associated with premature mortality from respiratory disease, as shown by James Peter Allinson and colleagues with data from the National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD).1 The authors state that the majority of these deaths were because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and they show that forced expiratory volume in 1‚Äàs mediates much of the link b…

The arraignment process was the first of what will likely be many surreal days in court as the state attempts a prosecution unprecedented in both size and scope. | Being somewhat confused by the inner workings of our Byzantine court system on even the best days, I didn't know what to expect from a mass arrai…

The indecency of the phrase 'humanitarian pause' is obvious. There is nothing humanitarian about a brief interlude between bouts of horrendous violence.

Before the debris from the first rounds of Israeli bombs could be cleared, the bombing resumed just as viciously as before. | The word 'humanitarian' has been severely bruised by the West.
