Seth Berkley Quotes

Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power Picture Quote #1

As variable as flu is, HIV makes flu look like the Rock of Gibraltar. The virus that causes AIDS is the trickiest pathogen scientists have ever confronted Picture Quote #1

For just a few dollars a dose, vaccines save lives and help reduce poverty. Unlike medical treatment, they provide a lifetime of protection from deadly and debilitating disease. They are safe and effective. They cut healthcare and treatment costs, reduce the number of hospital visits, and ensure healthier children, families and communities Picture Quote #1

Healthy children are more likely to attend school and are better able to learn. Healthy workers are more productive. More productive economies mean greater stability in developing countries and improved security in the West Picture Quote #1

Investments in immunization yield a rate of return on a par with educating our children - and higher than nearly any other development intervention Picture Quote #1

I love science, and I believe in it. I have a faith that science can solve problems and make the world a better place Picture Quote #1

The return on investment in global health is tremendous, and the biggest bang for the buck comes from vaccines. Vaccines are among the most successful and cost-effective health investments in history Picture Quote #1

Measles is probably the best argument for why there needs to be global health, and why we have to think about it as a global public good. Because in a sense, measles is the canary in the coal mine for immunization. It is, you know, highly transmissible. The vaccine costs 15 cents, so it’s not - you know, shouldn’t be an issue in terms of cost Picture Quote #1

You’d see little shallow graves, lined up, one after the other - babies. That’s what happens when measles goes through a nutritionally deficient community. It’s a horrible disease, and it spreads incredibly efficiently Picture Quote #1

The best vaccine imaginable is only valuable to the extent we get it to everyone who needs it Picture Quote #1
