Remembering Dr. Paul Farmer: A Public Health Pioneer Who Helped Millions from Haiti to Rwanda

[@shannond.4129]

RIP, Dr. Farmer. You made the world a better place.

[@jarrypason9884]

Hello Shannon how are you doing today.

[@betsylaughlin4481]

I could not agree more. This man is a true visionary. He created a more successful treatment program in Haiti, than existed in Boston, MA. This is humanitarian work in every level-he improves medical care EVERYWHERE in the world. He is truly brilliant-I wish his wisdom was not squandered by smaller minds and hearts than his…I’m so grateful for all he have humanity. Thank you, Dr. Farmer🙏

[@judyglaven1907]

Rest in peace Paul. The world is less without you but your work and legacy will continue to have great impact.

[@m3mn0nYT]

A wonderful American. It's saddened me to hear he's passed away. I finished reading Fevers, Feuds & Diamonds late last year. The world is undoubtedly less warm in the absence of someone with his spirit and compassion.

[@thebestindewest]

I'm looking for this book

[@m3mn0nYT]

@@thebestindewest i bought a digital copy online when it was released. it was difficult to find hard copies then because stores hadn't recieved theirs and I was too impatient. it's worth the read though. Dr Farmer draws a compelling portrait of working on the frontlines of the longest Ebola pandemic, with very harrowing cases but also heart-warming stories of survival and triumph in the midst of overwhelming hardship. He helped me understand that Ebola is actually rooted in the countries' histories, their founding, a lot of the West African Countries were this virus has devastated lives were actually unsettled and avoided precisely because people died of deadly fevers there, but it was Iberian explorers, searching for gold, and earlier American re-colonization societies looking to settle freed-slaves who opened these regions for settlement. Today, of course, the settlements grew to countries. I highly recommend this book. He's extremely critical of Doctors Without Borders and, in actuality, accused them of exacerbating the pandemic and extremely anaemic patient care which he believed did more harm than good. This man was such a wonderful human being. I genuinely do wish I could have met him.

May we be able to cherish your legacy of humanitarian efforts and continue to build upon it to develop a better world for all. We truly need more like you in the world. 🖤❤

[@betsylaughlin4481]

Can you imagine the world we could live in if more people were like Dr. Farmer? He’s always been one of my number one heroes ever since I was a teenager.

[@Mr.MBarrett]

@betsylaughlin4481 I can envision a world where every human has the opportunity for health and their own version of dignified happiness? On one hand, it seems possible given our knowledge and technological advances, and on the other, it seems impossible given our impulses for greed and cruelty. I definitely wish we had more Dr. Farmers in the world.

[@hollyb118]

I loved Mountains Beyond Mountains. I was inspired and humbled by Dr. Farmer’s commitment to all humans.

[@carolineoriordan913]

A massive loss. I read Mountains Beyond Mountains in high school and it deeply affected me. He was incredibly inspiring and the US has failed time and time again to learn the lessons he was trying to teach us with his work and with his words. We should be ashamed.

I went to school with Paul Farmer. He was, I think, 2 years behind me, but I remember him and his sister Katy, who was in my grade. I had no idea, once I left Brooksville, that he had gone on to have such an important role in helping such a wide range of people in many of the impoverished areas of the world. Paul Farmer -- you rock!

I saw him speak once with Noam Chomsky at MIT, and Paul talked about his work in Haiti. He and Chomsky were friends and he called Chomsky "The Gnomster" RIP Paul. Here in Japan I taught university students and one of them was the daughter of Japan's representative in Ryanda. She told me that Ryanda is the country with the highest proportion of female legislators in the world. I checked this out and to my surprise found she was right.

Education and birth control are key to reduce poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible.

[@ludlowaloysius]

All developed nations are suffering from low birthrates. A state needs humans to work. Poor people simply stopped having kids = low work force = inflation. Therefore, it is in a states interest to keep populations turning over. The problem isn't that poor people breed. The problem is that the state fails to provide services to help new citizens grow and thrive, thus wasting their human capital.

[@AR-je5gr]

⚠️ O human populations, the severe corona is a firm plan from Allaah who has Sent it to whoever disobeys the orders of Allaah generally, to submit and obey the command of His caliph on the worlds Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani. Verily, whoever disobeys my order give him tidings of clinical death through a plan from He who has Appointed me His caliph on the worlds (Allah my Lord and your Lord) and there is no escape! Who is it that is coequal to Allah Lord of the worlds Glorified and Highly Exalted is He ?! Omicron would accept the truce of whoever obeys Allah and His caliph; for peace is best. But if you refused, soon a lot of nations will find themselves without presidents nor governments, and I will not allow any chaos between nations when they have no governments, as omicron will strike down whoever wants to cause corruption in the land by taking away people's money and business or violate their sanctities, verily omicron will knock him down immediately and will severely strike at every finger-joint of him to keep people's security after (Allaah) annihilates those who refused and acted arrogantly towards the command of Allaah the One the Overpowering to obey His caliph (as what has passed is not but mere warning and alarm of widespread evil) and he will never find anyone to protect him from the torment of Allaah's firm plan. How many times did I advise decision-makers at day and night to be servants of Allaah and to worship Allaah alone no partners with Him so they obey the command of Allaah's caliph on the worlds (who is Allaah's servant like them) so they submit to the command of Allaah's caliph on the worlds Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani O Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, I swear by Him who has appointed me as His caliph; that is Allaah who you deny Him (my Lord and your Lord) if you did not release all Muslims inside the prisons of China along with all prisoners in general in the Chinese prisons, the firm plan of Allah, COVID, will strike you down along with all wrongdoers among your soldiers, like it (COVID) did to Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud O Xi Jinping, Bin Salman did not break his appointment out of his own accord but COVID; the firm plan of Allah has stricken him down into a clinical death like I had promised him before. And I have promised you with it, O Xi Jinping, along with those of your like in the worlds Go and ponder upon: (The Series of Statements About the Blood Gnat), and whoever wants to understand the news let him read it from the beginning to the end and that is for you to know that Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani truly knows from Allah that which you do not know, and those who understand and think know that Allaah has truly Appointed him His caliph on the whole world certainty that Allaah will achieve His purpose even if He had to annihilate half of mankind who reached their rectitude so that they submit to Allaah's caliph and servant Al-Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani. So let each human flee to Ar-Rahman (Arabic: the Most Gracious) my Lord and your Lord; Allaah who there is no god except Him, my Lord and your Lord, and Lord of the heavens and earth and what is between them and Lord of the Great Throne. Also, know that Allaah Forgives all sins without exception; He is indeed the All-Forgiving the Most Merciful. And turn to Allaah in repentance from the great sins, injustice, and gross indecencies and flee from Allaah to Him I am indeed from Him to you a manifest warner and the decision neither belongs to me nor you. Know that Everything to do with this affair is in Allaah's hands and all matters return to Allaah (in decision) who Knows the treachery of the eyes and what chests conceal. Indeed Allaah is Capable of everything, and know that all things and all which has hit you are a determined decree in the Book Inscribed How many times did I warn you that you cannot resist Allaah's cosmic and covidious war, but you acted arrogantly! And my call has not increased wrongdoers among you except in denial of Allaah Lord of the worlds, and you neglected Allaah as if He is not the One behind the cosmic war, the so-called climatic, aerial, nautical, and terrestrial disasters! But they are due to the approach of the planet of torment (Saqar), and I have warned you of severe punishment from Allaah but you refused as if He is not the One behind His cosmic war and the war of His covidious soldiers! Glorified and highly Exalted is He above what you associate with Him! If Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani is truly Allaah's caliph on the whole world, know that Allaah will achieve His purpose and know that He is Capable of everything Also, How many times did I warn you that you must worship Allaah my Lord and your Lord with insight (the Quran) from Allaah Lord of the worlds and that you must fear His torment through the piety of your hearts out of fear of Allaah the One, Exalted is He! He is indeed Worthy to be feared, and Worthy to forgive, but you feel secure against the plan of Allaah and only the losers feel secure against Allaah’s plan And I have already written to you a healing prayer for people in general in a statement on 26th of Ramadan 1441AH (19-05-2020AD), titled: Corona Virus And The Decisive Statement That Is Not To Be Taken for Amusement So read the whole prayer in it in the evening and in the morning, and know that therein is healing for what is in the chests. It also has the complete and conclusive solution for what you are experiencing of Allaah's cosmic and covidious war. O Allaah I have delivered so be my Witness and if you were arrogant towards this prayer, why should I grieve for people who are arrogant and wrongdoers?! Verily, judgment belongs to Allaah the Swiftest in account and planning; indeed He is the best of Judges Peace be upon the messengers and praise be to Allaah Lord of the worlds Allaah's caliph and servant Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani ___________ Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani 08-Rajab-1443AH 09-February-2022 AD 05:56 AM (According to the official time of Mecca Mother of Towns) ___________ 📌(To read the statement in clear and coordinated writing kindly visit the official website of the Awaited Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani or search Google using the statement's title): The COVID of No Escape From Death has Arrived 9

[@ahnraemenkhera7451]

A great story about the many humanitarian efforts of Dr. Paul Freeman, may he Rest In Peace & be honored in remembrance. But what’s troubling about all of these anecdotes is the absolute absence of any training, tools & education provender-so these so-called “3rd World” places can be removed from “3rd World” classification, which should have been done as soon as “1st World” visas were issued to persons seeking to exploit them for their “resources.” If 25-30 years lapse to build the training programs & bases, that means the actual diplomatic policy (exempting policies of the doctors & professionals) is intended to keep people who live in these places deprived & without any choices and without knowledge.
