Chris Whitty: Eradication and Elimination of Infectious Diseases
Eradicating an infectious disease for all time is one of the greatest gifts a generation can give to all subsequent ones.
To date only one human disease, smallpox, has been eradicated, with two more (polio and Guinea worm) being tantalisingly close. Several other major diseases are talked about as eradication targets. Eradicating diseases is however very difficult for scientific but also political reasons. Many eradication attempts have been tried and failed. This lecture will examine the opportunities and difficulties of eradication.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-an...

it was eyeopening on how we can solve these health problems but it's hard due to social-economy problems. Mass-education is the only solution; build trust, give people the tools of science and technology
