By the editor · 12,000 words · charts drawn by hand in SVG
A 30-minute scroll through the WHO’s 2025 Commission, the Holt-Lunstad mortality meta-analyses, and the contagion research, with an interactive self-test and a public manifest so readers can check every figure. Built on one editorial rule: numbers presented like the people inside them exist.
‘You are not broken. You are reading the room accurately.’
