Developing nations!? The way South Africa is following in Zimbabwe’s steps I can’t honestly say they are a developing nation. Regressing is more appropriate.
Years ago I was at a conference on the Battle of Gettysburg, the US Civil War battle of 1863. I was a guest, not a military expert. The presenter asked the crowd what advice we might give to the military leaders of that day if we could go back in time. The answers were interesting and the crowd was engaged. Then the guy asked me to answer. My background was more tied to public health (education). I told the group I would tell (only General Mead, not Lee - laughter) to boil his army’s water before using to drink or before cleaning wounds or conducting surgery. I won the best answer. Turns out that would have doubled the size of the fighting force in this field by 100 percent. Your opinions and advocacy for more sanitation and clean water to improve public health are true for all time, including now. And as you point out it takes a lot of energy to make that happen. I should not be astonished your papers were not submitted for per review. We seem to be living in an era of stupidity.
I wrote this https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/10/30/sustainability-threatens-public-health-developing-world-12055 article over 10 years. I submitted it to a half a dozen peer reviewed publications including Bulletin of the World Health Organization. It was never sent to peer review and was almost immediately declined every time. I have my share of peer reviewed publications https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=paunio+m in the the top notch journals, but now I agree with you that something strange has happened to scientific journals, which seem to promote this eco/woke WEF nonsense. I left academia 1999 and joined the ranks of cabinet officers that year.

You have the moral imperative to develop your resources. It is the only way to secure public health in Africa. Here are the arguments for you. UN Agenda 2030 is inhumane. https://dailysceptic.org/2023/12/20/lancet-report-reveals-devastating-impact-of-climate-policies-on-public-health-in-developing-countries/

Thank you for the information. And for staying in the fight.
