00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120
This graph, I both love and hate.

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.559
It shows the % of children in the world

00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.759
that have got vaccinated against measles.

00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.039
Measles is a deadly disease for children.

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.160
When I worked as a doctor

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.079
(I was a young doctor
in 1980 in East Africa)

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.800
there were so many children
dying of measles,

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.300
we couldn't save them.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:25.000
Then vaccination came,

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.399
and in only 10 years here,

00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.800
70% of the children in the world
were vaccinated.

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:31.440
But look:

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.060
From 1990 to 2005,
15 years of stagnation!

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:38.840
Now, in the last 10 years,

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.219
it's climbing, climbing.

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:41.500
What I love

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:45.280
is that 84%
of the children of the world

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.039
are vaccinated today.

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.220
But what I hate

00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:51.280
is that there is still
this group remaining.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.020
They live in extreme poverty

00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:56.000
that can be ended in the next 30 years.
