Bangladesh Cuts Hunger Rates in Half By Supporting Small Farmers and Women

Once a recipient of food donations from around the world, Bangladesh has now become a model for reducing food hunger. By supporting small farms and women, the country has reduced the number starving citizens significantly.

Recommended by the CDC, of course.
The pertussis vaccination is usually packaged as DTaP or Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis vaccine. So adverse side effects, short or long term, are tripled.
