Summary: Recent years have seen declines in previous global health gains and increases in vaccine preventable and neglected diseases.

Chapters cover: a new post-2015 urgency; a Cold War legacy; vaccine science envoy; battling diseases of the Anthropocene; the Middle East killing fields; Africa's ""un-wars""; the northern triangle and the collapse of Venezuela; global health security and the rise in anti-science; implementing vaccine diplomacy and the rise of COVID-19."
