    I met Mrs. Carter back in the mid 70's when she was in Portland campaigning for her husband. Nice gal - very classy. Jimmy was a president who's ideas were well ahead of his time!

    I'm waiting for Dick Cheany to die, so I can celebrate. I want him to roast in hell.

    So, although wrongfully convicted, she was a murderer?

    The Carter Center runs a guinea worm eradication program, https://www.cartercenter.org/health/guinea_worm/index.html


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eradication_of_dracunculiasis#2023

    From https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7245a4.htm (November 2023),
    " * What is added by this report?

    Thirteen human cases and 686 animal infections [of guinea worm] were reported in 2022. Three human cases and 315 animal infections were reported during January–June 2023. As of August 2023, dracunculiasis remained endemic in five countries (Angola, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan).

    * What are the implications for public health practice?

    With only 13 human cases [of guinea worm] identified in 2022 and three during January–June 2023, program efforts appear to be closer to reaching the goal of eradication. However, dog infections and impeded access because of civil unrest and insecurity in Mali and South Sudan continue to be the greatest challenges for the program. "

    It's good to be reminded that great kind people can have an impact on the world.
