And I think that's what we're missing.

You know, C.S. Lewis once said, if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. And, and, and, We do that really well. Yeah, no kidding. So I think that's the challenge we have today. You know, we're all going to die. All of us on this screen are going to die someday. And whoever's the last one here, shut out the lights and wish you best. Party's over, right? Yeah.

So we're not trying to avoid death. So if we're not trying to do that, which is often the way people measure what we do or don't do, what is it? We're trying to have healthy lives for as long as we can of sound mind and body. free of pain, cognitive function, positive, et cetera. Okay. So what do we do to help accomplish that?

And, you know, realizing that as we age and we're now the aging population where we understand, oh, you know, we didn't realize falls were really all that hard on people, but you know, they are kind of tough on older people, et cetera. So I think it's more investing in what is the return we want. What do we want? Kids should not be dying from vaccine preventable diseases. They should not.

That should be a clarion call. OK, so I think it's things like that that we need to put in order to say this is what we should be doing.

Well, first of all, it's a real honor to be with you. Thank you. I'm very, very honored to be here. You know, I think it's fair to say that if you are a student of public health or considering to be a student of public health, this is a great time to get involved because we've got lots of challenges. We need you. I am encouraged by that.

I have a set of graduate students right now that are as good as any I've had in all my 50 years in the business. And I have a hope. I have hope. And I hope it's not a strategy. It doesn't hurt to have it. Okay. And I think that that's really where we're at right now.

And again, I hope that our conversation today helps give people a sense of where we're at, what we need to do, and hopefully engages them in the critical, critical area of public health.
