Larry Brilliant quer parar pandemias

Ao receber o Prêmio TED 2006, o Dr. Larry Brilliant fala sobre como a varíola foi erradicada do planeta e apela por um novo sistema global que possa identificar e conter pandemias antes que elas se espalhem.

Eradicating smallpox required finding every case quickly and containing it before it could spread. In India, health workers made over one billion house calls, proving that human effort and surveillance can outsmart even the most devastating diseases. The same approach—early detection and rapid response—can stop new epidemics and save millions of lives. Building a global, accessible early-warning system is essential to catch threats before they spiral out of control.
