Smallpox Eradication: African Origin, African Solutions, and Relevance for COVID-19

Résumé fourni par la source

Thank you Annie (Rimoin) for those introductory comments.I can assure those tuned in that some of those stories are actually true.And, I am proof that there is no age discrimination in the ASTMH.The Society has been my main professional home for five decades.This year has been like no other in our history-the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged us in every way.We have responded to the assaults on science through writing for our Journal and for other journals, joining like-minded societies with statements to the press and live interviews, and appealing directly to decision-makers.Advocacy for global health research and control programs in poor countries has been led by our CEO Karen Goraleski.She, with our great staff and partners, has been performing miracles.Thanks team TropMed.And a big thanks to our board of directors, who set the standards high and are major advocates for what we do.The biggest challenge has been to have this virtual meeting.I thank Dan Bausch and Stephanie Yanow, chair and associate chair of the Scientific Program Committee, and Lyn Maddox, vice president for meetings, for this feat, plus those understanding folks in Toronto whom we hope to see in the future.Most dear to me is my family.My wife, Vicki-nurse
