Smallpox killed an estimated 300,000,000 people just in the 20th century. A number almost the equivalent of the current total population of USAmerica, Inc.
300,000,000 dead - in just under 80 years.
Did you catch the part about the economics of it?
We put enormous amounts of time, energy and tax money into the effort to eradicate smallpox over a span of decades. And that cost is recouped here in USAmerica Inc every 6 days.
Every.
Six.
Days.
The extremely positive economic benefits of good public health policy should be obvious, and we should be shouting it to the heavens.
And good public health policy comes from good government.
Not more government - not necessarily bigger or smaller - but better.
I want a government that does good work for me at a reasonable price.
