Yes, there is attention to science and respect for academia and expertise.

But, you know, we need to get that back across the world.

I'm in Boston right now, though.

So, you know, the first public health department was and where I worked years ago in the state, you know, epidemiology department, among other places, and taught at the Harvard School of Public Health.

So, you know.

So, in general, these types of jobs are desirable because, you know, it's a big international job.

And I went there to do three years, actually, originally.

And then they liked me and they said, we want to show you we like you.

Can you do four years?

And then they...

They liked me and did another four years.

And then they finally said, well, you know, it's COVID and all that.

Maybe you can do another year.

But I think at that point it was, you know, I had done my service.

And, you know, it's an amazing organization.

It vaccinated more than 1.2 billion additional children, introduced more than 700 novel vaccines, you know, contributed to this effect of a 70% reduction in vaccine preventable diseases, which contributed to the 50% reduction in under five child mortality.

So I love the organization.

I still do.

But its goal is to just help countries.

It's not really charity.
