CHANGE: The UK is rolling out a world-first vaccine for gonorrhoea. What about the rest of Europe? Doesn’t sound especially impressive: “In studies, the vaccine was between 32.7 per cent and 42 per cent effective against gonorrhoea, the advisory group found.”

Plus: “Gonorrhoea is one of the most common STIs, with nearly 97,000 confirmed cases in 28 European countries in 2023 – up 31 per cent from the year before. . . . Cases have been rising among all age groups and among both women and men, with men who have sex with men accounting for 58 per cent of cases in 2023.”

THAT’S CRAZY TALK: American Universities Should Put America First: Trump’s moves force all of us to ask: Who is higher education for? And what is its purpose? “Elite American universities are reluctant to be seen as American, or to prioritize American interests, even as they happily accept American taxpayer dollars.”

DON SURBER: Trump has Harvard on the run: The Orange Man knows how to use his power in this presidency. “The public is behind Trump because college administrators tarnished the Harvard brand long ago. Higher education in general suffers a backlash over trillions in unpaid student loans, DEI, LGBT and the promotion of communism in general.”
