New UNICEF data offers a sobering snapshot of global health: 77% of infants worldwide were fully vaccinated against measles last year — a number that sounds promising but masks a catastrophic gap in Bangladesh [1] — Dore Baskaran "When Bangladesh's interim government decided to procure vaccines independently rather than through UNICEF — which distributes 2.2 billion d…" 03:13 . NPR's Dore Baskaran reports that when Bangladesh's interim government came to power in late 2024, it made the consequential decision to procure vaccines independently rather than through UNICEF, which normally distributes approximately 2.2 billion doses annually. UNICEF's global immunization chief Dr. Efrain Lemango explains that going outside the system almost always causes delays — and that is precisely what happened. The procurement effort ultimately failed, causing 'significant and extended stock cuts.' Some clinics ran out of the measles vaccine entirely. By the time the new government moved quickly to vaccinate children, the damage was done: more than 750 children had already died in the outbreak that followed. Lemango's implicit warning is clear — the UNICEF procurement system exists for exactly this reason, and bypassing it carries deadly risk.
UNICEF data shows 77% of infants globally were fully vaccinated against measles last year, leaving a significant gap that contributed to deadly outbreaks.
When Bangladesh's interim government decided to procure vaccines independently rather than through UNICEF — which distributes 2.2 billion doses a year — the attempt failed, clinics ran dry, and more than 750 children died in a measles outbreak. UNICEF's immunization chief says the delay was foreseeable and preventable.
A measles outbreak in Bangladesh killed more than 750 children, driven in part by a disruption in vaccine procurement after the country's interim government took power.
UNICEF facilitates the purchase of approximately 2.2 billion vaccine doses per year for countries worldwide.
The last time Congress came close to making daylight saving time permanent was in 2022, when the Senate approved the Sunshine Protection Act, but it never passed the House.
Thomas's wife deferred her CrossFit career — she's in the global top 1% of athletes — to put him through law school debt-free. He wants her to chase the dream now; she wants the emergency fund and house down payment first. On a $200K lawyer income with no debt, the opportunity cost is just a few months of slower saving.
Underground calisthenics battles are exactly like UFC meets a rap battle — 150 people crowded around a circle, fighters walking out with masks and chains, nicknames like 'Extra Money' vs 'Calisthenics the Prince,' and people throwing money and betting. The battle set: 100 burpees, 50 muscle-ups, 75 dips, 75 squats with a 65-pound dumbbell. This is the next big spectator sport.
Rico Verhoeven controlled the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion for approximately 10 rounds — and had his appeal upheld when officials admitted the fight was stopped after the bell. The result was never overturned. Rogan calls it either incompetence or corruption, and argues the money behind Usyk made an upset politically inconvenient.
Rogan lays out a blunt case: boxing's 3-judge system is structurally broken, and the judges know who the promoter wants to win. Glory's 5-judge format is the right model. Corruption doesn't have to be conscious — just knowing Usyk is the cash cow is enough to tilt the scales.
With the Usyk-Wilder fight stalling and Fury-Joshua coming too late, the real fight the world wants is the rematch. Rico is a free agent. Usyk vacated his belts. The story is unfinished and both Rogan and Rico know it. His Excellency Turki Alasheikh already called for it ringside — the question is money.
Rico texted Jason Statham during the Canelo-Crawford fight. Statham showed Rico's highlight videos to promoters. Two days later, Rico was on a call about fighting Anthony Joshua. When Joshua pulled out, Rico pitched Usyk himself — Undisputed vs. Undisputed. Usyk said yes in two weeks. The whole thing started with one text.
Every heavyweight who faced Usyk tried to move to the right — straight into his power hand. Rico and Peter Fury identified the obvious solution: move left, away from the left hand, and smother him with size. It sounds simple. Nobody had done it. That one adjustment was the foundation of 10 dominant rounds.
MMA fans boo when fights go to the ground. They love stand-up. Kickboxing is pure stand-up. Yet it barely exists in America while boxing and MMA are enormous. Rogan's diagnosis: no promotion machine. If the UFC got behind kickboxing the way they've built MMA, it would explode. The talent is there — the storytelling machine is not.
A nation of 17 million people gave the world Ramon Deckers, Peter Aerts, Badr Hari, Melvin Manhoef, Rob Kamen, Ernesto Hoost, and Rico Verhoeven. Rico's theory: the country is so small that every gym shares knowledge freely. In the US, you need a flight. In Holland, you drive 40 minutes and spar the national champion.
