“So we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter
Serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water
And the old farm road's a four-lane that leads to the mall
And our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.”

Telescoped down, the hard and stone-green river
cutting fast and direct into the town.”

“Confrontation is the road to war, destruction and end of civilization.”

Yevgeniy Chazov (1929) Russian physician

Cooperation is the road to increased well-being of peoples and flourishing life. Medicine knows many examples when joint efforts to nations and scientists contributed to successful combat against diseases such, for example, as smallpox.
