“This research shows, in general, that a plant-based diet can be beneficial, and taking small steps in that direction can make a difference. You don’t have to go completely vegan to see some of these benefits. Even reducing a day or two per week of animal-based consumption can have benefits over time.” (Matthew Landry)

“According to the results, the increase in transmission occurred just when the border was closed. Restricting passage without other measures to stop clandestine activities did not work as a public health strategy. Efforts to build a higher wall or policies to stop immigration do not mitigate the spread of HIV.” (Tetyana Vasylyeva)

“We are not in flu season, so if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, it may be a sign that you have been exposed to COVID-19. You must test as soon as you experience symptoms for two reasons. First, if you test early, you can receive antiviral treatment earlier and reduce the chance of severe symptoms. Second, vulnerable communities like the elderly, pregnant people and the unvaccinated are highly susceptible, so testing early helps you make the informed decision to stay home and take care of yourself and your community.” (Bernadette Boden-Albala)

“When border restrictions were in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, HIV transmissions in Tijuana and San Diego went up. The study concluded that people who were crossing the border were moving COVID-19 and HIV back and forth between the two countries.This shows that efforts to build a higher wall or policies to stop immigration will not mitigate HIV spread” (Tetyana Vasylyeva)
