I think when smallpox was eliminated, the whole world got pretty excited about that because it’s just such a dramatic success.

Inspiration starts somewhere.

I'm not a macroeconomics person.

We all have the chance to create a world where extreme poverty is the exception rather than the rule.

Even when I wrote Basic myself the day before I burned it into a computer I wasn't making design changes. I didn't have a testing team. I did all the testing myself. And there was no project methodology or schedule that, there was the notion of coming to a close means testing a lot at the end and making very few changes.

I would certainly use my voice to try and avoid anything that undermines confidence, so that parents are using vaccines fully.

We're very enthused about the idea that in the third trimester we actually give the mother a vaccine and her antibodies, the protective things that the immune system makes, actually pass through to the baby, both when the baby is born, and through the mother's milk. Because the baby's immune system is actually not very strong for that first few months, using the mother's immune system to do this - it's a very exciting idea and something that we're investing heavily in.
