Want an antidote to the growing pessimism about the impending ‘swine flu’ pandemic?
Try watching 2006 TED Prize winner Larry Brilliant‘s ‘brilliant’ talk on his career working with WHO to eradicate smallpox (and other infectious diseases) and his hope for the prevention of future pandemics.
[Larry Brilliant speaking at TED]

Also I recommend reading Larry Brilliant’s recent article in the Wall Street Journal: ‘The Age of Pandemics‘.
