I høstens første redaktørens hjørne får vi blant annet høre mer om at covid-19-pandemien har ført til at testing for og diagnostisering av HIV har gått ned. I tillegg har barnevaksinasjonsprogrammet blitt svekket. Det er dessuten publisert flere artikler om apekopper den siste tiden, deriblant om et tilfelle av smitte fra mennesker til dyr – nærmere bestemt en familiehund. Konsekvensene av den amerikanske høyesteretts opphevelse av Roe vs Wade blir stadig mer synlig, særlig i Texas. Are Brean forteller om dette og mer i ukens episode av Stetoskopet.
