Epidemiologist Seth Berkley believes vaccines can be the super-hero.Below is the opening of this TED talk. What opening strategies did he use? "Do you worry about what's going to kill you? Heart disease, cancer, a car accident? Most of us worry about things we can't control, like war, terrorism, the tragic earthquake that just occurred in Haiti. But what really threatens humanity? A few years ago, Professor Vaclav Smil tried to calculate the probability of sudden disasters large enough to change history. He called these, "massively fatal discontinuities," meaning that they could kill up to 100 million people in the next 50 years. He looked at the odds of another world war, of a massive volcanic eruption, even of an asteroid hitting the Earth. But he placed the likelihood of one such event above all others at close to 100 percent, and that is a servere flu pandemic. Now, you might think of flue as just a really bad cold, but it can be a death sentence. Every year, 36,000 people in the United States die of seasonal flue. In the developing world, the data is much sketchier but the death toll is almost certainly higher...So, I'm here to trumpet vaccines for you."
