The toxic state of Gibraltar’s political arena is best exemplified by Unite the Union’s call for a demonstration outside Convent Place on January 10 to protest against the Health Authority.
Using a hospital, an essential public service which deals with matters of life and death as leverage to compel any elected administration to adopt a particular course of action is morally questionable even at the best of times. Read more

Are vaccines safe?
Vaccines help the body to recognise and fight viruses or bacteria by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies to a specific disease. The term ‘vaccination‘ refers to the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
Immunisation is a term used to define the process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination (this term is often used interchangeably with vaccination/ inoculation). Protection from an infectious disease gives you immunity (if you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected). Read more

INFECTIONS
Infections are caused by microorganisms that attach themselves to body cells and replicate. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa (single-celled organisms), lice and helminths (parasites and worms).
To facilitate an infection, three things must be present:
A microorganism
A vulnerable host
A means of spreading (this is called transmission)
All infections have the potential to cause a person to become sick, though most are not harmful as the body and immune system provide various forms of protection. Read more

For decades, the Cavalcade has been a highlight of Gibraltar’s social and cultural calendar. It would have normally taken place yesterday, the eve of the Epiphany. But this year, it has unfortunately been postponed again due to the ongoing pandemic. It nonetheless remains a much-treasured event, and to learn more about it I spoke to Eric Abudarham, President of the Three Kings Cavalcade Committee. Read more
