Response of man to infection with Vibrio cholerae. I. Clinical, serologic, and bacteriologic responses to a known inoculum.

TL;DR: It is argued that these strategies might subvert two core principles of global health: that context matters and that social justice and equity are paramount and question the appropriateness of these particular strategies for less-resourced countries with distinct population structures, vastly different public health needs, immensely fewer health-care resources, less participatory governance, massive within-country inequities, and fragile economies.
Journal ArticleDOI
