actually thousands it’s a little creepy
actually thousands it’s a little creepy to think about but most of those will
to think about but most of those will

never be eradicated given what we know
never be eradicated given what we know today diseases like HIV
today diseases like HIV
today diseases like HIV and tuberculosis or even Ebola these
and tuberculosis or even Ebola these
and tuberculosis or even Ebola these were doing better at controlling but

only had 25 reported cases thanks to
only had 25 reported cases thanks to water filters by the way so yes we can
water filters by the way so yes we can
water filters by the way so yes we can eradicate diseases so now you get to
eradicate diseases so now you get to
eradicate diseases so now you get to that other because the next question
that other because the next question
that other because the next question like okay but how do we do this well of
like okay but how do we do this well of
like okay but how do we do this well of course there’s no easy answer and every
course there’s no easy answer and every
course there’s no easy answer and every disease is pretty different but there
disease is pretty different but there
disease is pretty different but there are some common challenges and the gwee
are some common challenges and the gwee
are some common challenges and the gwee the global community we have actually
the global community we have actually
the global community we have actually started creating some pretty interesting
started creating some pretty interesting
started creating some pretty interesting solutions well the first thing you need
solutions well the first thing you need
solutions well the first thing you need to do is create the right scientific
to do is create the right scientific
to do is create the right scientific product the safe effective and
product the safe effective and
product the safe effective and affordable things like vaccines and
affordable things like vaccines and
affordable things like vaccines and drugs and diagnostics and tools but the
drugs and diagnostics and tools but the
drugs and diagnostics and tools but the problem is is most companies actually
problem is is most companies actually
problem is is most companies actually don’t invest in these products because
don’t invest in these products because
don’t invest in these products because they’re primarily afflicting the poorest
they’re primarily afflicting the poorest

scientific achievements and we have
scientific achievements and we have hundreds of products in our pipeline but
hundreds of products in our pipeline but
hundreds of products in our pipeline but just having the right product isn’t
just having the right product isn’t
just having the right product isn’t enough you got to get it to the
enough you got to get it to the
enough you got to get it to the but needed and this presents huge
but needed and this presents huge
but needed and this presents huge logistical challenges so for instance a
logistical challenges so for instance a
logistical challenges so for instance a vaccine must stay cold so we have to
vaccine must stay cold so we have to
vaccine must stay cold so we have to think about ways to keep vaccines
think about ways to keep vaccines
think about ways to keep vaccines refrigerated in places there’s no
refrigerated in places there’s no
refrigerated in places there’s no electricity and we’re working on new
electricity and we’re working on new

don’t even need refrigeration and then
don’t even need refrigeration and then there’s the transportation issues like
there’s the transportation issues like
there’s the transportation issues like we’re working on new ways to reach
we’re working on new ways to reach
we’re working on new ways to reach remote communities including drones and
remote communities including drones and
remote communities including drones and actually better ways to track and manage
actually better ways to track and manage
actually better ways to track and manage the supply chain with electronic

affected areas and then everybody in
affected areas and then everybody in that area gets an anti-malarial drug and
that area gets an anti-malarial drug and
that area gets an anti-malarial drug and that area is about like 100 meters it’s

don’t have those symptoms so we’re going
don’t have those symptoms so we’re going not only after treating sick patients
not only after treating sick patients
not only after treating sick patients but we’re actually trying to eliminate

in fact in fact Zambia’s government has
in fact in fact Zambia’s government has declared a commitment to have to fully
declared a commitment to have to fully

eliminate malaria by 2021 okay so we can
eliminate malaria by 2021 okay so we can do this and actually we’re getting
do this and actually we’re getting
do this and actually we’re getting better and better on how but then I have
better and better on how but then I have
better and better on how but then I have to ask this final and sometimes
to ask this final and sometimes
to ask this final and sometimes surprisingly difficult

last question should we is disease eradication worth it okay the estimation
eradication worth it okay the estimation
eradication worth it okay the estimation of what we’ve spent on the polio
of what we’ve spent on the polio
of what we’ve spent on the polio eradication so far is about fifteen
eradication so far is about fifteen
eradication so far is about fifteen billion dollars and because these last
billion dollars and because these last
billion dollars and because these last cases are so hard to do to get to that
cases are so hard to do to get to that
cases are so hard to do to get to that we think that the last case will cost
we think that the last case will cost
we think that the last case will cost about two hundred million dollars to
about two hundred million dollars to
about two hundred million dollars to stamp out 200 million and in these same
stamp out 200 million and in these same
