All this information, and less and less knowledge. Very scary. a little write up from back in 2019 might help to make some sense... David and Leila Centner moved to Miami determined to make a change in the lives of women, children and teachers.
Long before they had their children and sold their Highway Toll Administration company for an undisclosed amount, David and Leila Centner were dedicated to charities that helped women and children in Ethiopia, Nicaragua and Harlem, an hour away from their previous home. “We’re drawn to causes that break the cycle of poverty,” says Leila. Yet, since 2017, when they decided to set roots in Miami (where David was born and raised), the bulk of their generosity has remained in our community. “When we moved here, one of our first orders of business was to find people in need and find a way to resourcefully contribute,” says David. “After we sold our company, we set aside an eight-figure sum strictly for donations. We invested that money and our goal is to donate 75 percent of the annual earnings.” The two also devote their time to nonprofits like the Lotus House shelter, where they recently opened the David and Leila Centner Culinary Center, which features a state-of-the-art kitchen and teaching program. This August, they will launch Centner Academy (centneracademy.com), a private, progressive language-immersion school in the Design District, where the curriculum (delivered in Mandarin for half of each day) has been developed to teach kids to think creatively and become problem solvers. “The core of our foundation is all about the happy child, mindfulness and helping shape conscious and connected little beings,” Leila explains. In addition to regular donations to the Arsht Center, JAFCO and Hebrew Academy, the Centners recently contributed $40 million in seed capital toward a real estate development in Edgewater designed to create affordable housing for teachers. “Our passion is to be the best we can be,” says David, “and contribute to humanity in big and small ways.”

looks like they are now making really good progress India celebrates 1B vaccine doses, hopes to speed 2nd shots
NEW DELHI (AP) â India celebrated giving its billionth COVID-19 vaccine dose on Thursday, a hopeful milestone for the South Asian country where the delta variant fueled a crushing surge earlier this year and missteps initially held back its inoculation campaign.About half of Indiaâs nearly 1.4 billion people have received at least one dose while around 20% are fully immunized, according to Our World in Data. Many of those shots have come in just the past couple of months, after the rollout languished in the first half of the year amid vaccine shortages and problems with the system for rolling them out.

For the Vinay Prasad fans The Road to Hitler is Paved with⦠Masks and Vaccines?
The next time a healthcare worker or educator is attacked by a âfreedom-lovingâ anti-vaxxer, itâs reasonable to wonder who convinced the assailant that life-saving public health measures are in fact a ruse to pave the way for the next Hitler. Warning: This article contains offensive images about the Holocaust and sexual assault.

I wonder what proportion of uninsured people are uninsured by choice: They fear or don't trust the medical system, don't like doctors, hate getting shots, etc.: Those people who wouldn't go under any circumstances for any reason. We sort of always assume that "uninsured" means "can't get insurance" but I know there are other reasons.
I hated the dentist my family used in high school so starting when I went away to college, never saw a dentist for 18 years, even though at a couple of places we had Cadillac medical & dental & vision. Cost wasn't the issue.
When I finally did go to a dentist again: zero cavities. The previous guy always found something to drill out.

We have insurance and access, so getting vaccinated was no big deal. But all my interactions with the pharmacy and vaccination points have been pretty clear about they will use our insurance, but it is not necessary. The vaccines are available to anyone with or without insurance at no cost to them (like a lot of the testing). I think I've seen this in a lot of outreach as well.
So is this just an education thing (educating the uninsured), or are they not being reached by this information? Or are they suspect of free services? I don't understand why this is a problem unless it's maybe just a high correlation with uninsured and other factors.
