Now, I consider this one of the biggest events in the history of mankind that the number of children stopped increasing.
That has been completely missed by, not by you, by media, by all big mighty BBC has never told its listeners that the number of children have stopped increasing.
And the first question about measles vaccination, you also got it wrong.
It's 83% to get vaccinated.
Yes, aid works.
Here governments, together with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, get together with UNICEF and this organization, GAVI, and get the important vaccines out.
And mothers, I can tell you, in the poorest countries in Africa, they demand this because they know what measles is.
It kills their children.
But now I'll give you the worst of this.
I had the opportunity to lecture to the experts that talk in World Economic Forum in Davos, that highest level of economist, you know, corporate sector and politicians meeting.
And I asked them these questions.
And they answered more or less like you.
38% got it right with poverty.
When it was the children, only 25% got it right.
But when I asked the chimps in the zoo, 33% got it right.
And with the vaccines, like you, only 18% got it right.
And what is severe with this, when you score as a group worse than random, it means you have preconceived ideas.
I think it's very simple.
They are experts in their area.
And the school, they were told, but they were told how it was when their teachers went to university.
