To the editor: President Trump’s righteous indignation over Norway’s (or is it Greenland’s?) Nobel Committee once more depriving him of its Peace Prize is likely to be assuaged had been he to be awarded the Indianapolis Prize as a substitute. Sometimes called “the Nobel Prize of animal conservation,” this $250,000 award honors conservationists who’ve “achieved main victories in advancing the sustainability of an animal species or group of species.”
Let’s say the award had been expanded past animals. In fact, Trump must share it with Well being and Human Providers Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., since they’re each equally chargeable for salvaging a number of species from the brink of extinction. Most notably, that features coronaviruses in addition to morbillivirus and enterovirus C species that trigger measles and polio (“A measles resurgence has put the U.S. susceptible to dropping its ‘elimination’ standing,” Jan. 22).
