Repost from UPSC Ethics by VK IAS
✅Gs-3 : Science and Technology-Instances of vaccine hesitancy- National Health mission-> Immunization program
✅Gs-4 : Ethics- Medical ethics- Vaccine Hesitancy
🅾️Context : Measles outbreak in Mumbai
🅾️Ethics- Vaccine hesitancy is a growing threat to public health.
Reasons :lack of trust in vaccines, expertise and traditional sources of authority
📍Approaches to deal
⚜️1. Time taking approach : Improving healthcare professional-parent exchange
⚜️2. coercive measures such as mandatory and presumptive vaccination. This will seriously risk undermining trust that is crucial for sustaining herd immunity
⚠️So, Efforts to address vaccine hesitancy require more consistent engagement of parental and citizen views. Also if a kid's life is in danger because of proven vaccine hesitancy, can we hold the parent responsible for it?

✅Gs-3 : Science and Technology- GAIA spacecraft
🅾️Gaia is a space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2013 and expected to operate until 2025. The spacecraft is designed for astrometry: measuring the positions, distances and motions of stars with unprecedented precision
🅾️Based on the Gaia space observatory data, Scientist has observed that the Milky Way, home to our sun and billions of other stars, merged with another smaller galaxy in a cosmic collision roughly 10 billion years ago.
🅾️Galaxies of all types, including the Milky Way, began to form relatively soon after the Big Bang explosion that marked the beginning of the universe some 13.8 billion years ago, but were generally smaller than those seen today and were forming stars at a rapid rate. Subsequent galactic mergers were instrumental in configuring galaxies existing now.

✅Web 3.0 vs Web 2.0 vs Web 1.0
➡️Context : Wipro announced that its operating model from being industry-organised to market-organised( meaning-> more sectors in the economy are tapping into IT- i.e. digitalisation of businesses is happening)
➡️Web 3.0 is the third generation of evolution of web technologies. It is still evolving. Thus, its universally accepted definition is still not clear. It will use the block-chain based technologies extensively and emphasis on decentralized applications. It will also use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), in a bid to empower intelligent and adaptive applications.
