It's a rare thing, but when we get a chance to tell a story that inspires and nurtures us, we must tell it. Excited to share what’s coming next…

And now I'm thinking of the myriad awkward/inappropriate/morbid stories about #ebola, #guineaworm, other #infectiousdiseases... and other shenanigans - e.g. being put on trial in someone else's stead in #SouthSudan, the most mundane case, re: stealing a #bicycle (that i did not in fact steal) 🙄

It’s incredible to think that just 30 years ago there were 3.5 million cases of #GuineaWorm disease globally every year.

In each of the last four years, there have been 15 cases or less. We are on the brink of an historic achievement.

Where I am at with my Guinea worm. Just going where it takes me.

If #IlDouche does anything 1% as important and lasting as this, as president or after, I will probably die of shock.

Here's why I respect former President Jimmy Carter... #guineaworm

RIP Jimmy Carter a gentle giant amongst your presidential peers. One of your greatest achievements was supporting the virtual elimination of #guineaworm from Africa, thereby reducing the suffering of millions. No longer do you see people winding a worm on a matchstick from a sore. 🛟🧪#publichealth

Jimmy Carter took on the awful Guinea worm when no one else would — and he triumphed Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." Because of his commitment, case numbers plummeted from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022.

Jimmy Carter didn't quite outlast #GuineaWorm, but not for lack of trying. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Vaccines have such a long history of success, to deny them is to deny history -- vaccines eradicated or controlled many diseases and saved lives.
