比爾蓋茨的終總結(jié)

1、比爾蓋茨的2021年關(guān)總結(jié)I ended 2021 by compiling something slightlyunusual: a list of some of the good news you mighthave missed. I thought it was a pretty good note toend the year on, and people seemed to like readingabou t some ofthe ways theworld isbecoming abetterplace. This year,I thought I d do it again

2、Of course, we can* t ignore the fact that it s been aturbulent yea r, in theUnited Statesand manyother countries.But it , s worthtaking a momentto celebrate some of the good news too. More children are surviving than ever before. We? remaking progress against some of the world, s deadliest diseases.

3、 These are some of the mostfundamen tai ways to measure the world, s progress-and by that measure, 2021 wasdefinitely another good year。Fifth Birthdays Than Ever BeforeTo me, one of the best ways to measure progress is to look at how many children are dying ofpreventable causesoAnd today,morekidsare

4、 living tosee their fifthbirthdaythan ever before.Thisyear,for atleast the 42nd year inarow, the child mortality rate has fallen. And it s not just moving in theright direction-it sfalling faster thananyone expected。The Economist ran a great article about this in September, where it estimatedthatjus

But foryears we were falling behind, because for all the peo

6、ple who started getting treatment, evenmore would become infectedcNot anymore, though. New data released this month show that 2021 was the first year whenmore people started getting treatment than became infected with HIV. Why does that matter?Because treating people not only keeps them alive, it al

Since then, the number ofkids dying from this illness hasbeen cut nearlyin half thankst

10、oa cheap and effectivetoday, that vaccine is reaching more kids than ever beforecFor example in India, where rota kills nearly 80,000 children a year , the government decided thisyear to deliver the vaccine for free to poor children. And manufacturers there are working on amore affordab le vaccine t

If this newtreatm

14、error isnioBoth are frightening, and they masked the fact that from a global health perspective, Nigeriaactually had a pretty good year. Although i t, s one of only three countries that have never beenfree from polio (Pakistan and Afghanistan are the other two), I don t think it w ill be on that lis

18、全然的方式一一而且通過以下的估 量，2021絕對又是讓人歡喜的一年。和之前相較，更多小孩過上了 5歲的生日。對我而言，衡量進步最好的方式之一確實是看看，有多少小孩的死亡能夠幸免。同過去相較的今天，更多的小孩活著過上了 5歲的生日。在今年，至少是持續(xù)第42年兒童 的死亡率有所下降。而且不單單是朝正確的方向一一它比任何人期望的都下降的快。經(jīng)濟學人在9月寫了一篇關(guān)于那個問題的長文，自從2001年開始，估量全世界已拯救 了 1360萬兒童的生命。不難想象，這確實是世界正在變好的標志。咱們在對抗艾滋病上取得了里程碑式的進步關(guān)于艾滋病病毒感染者的醫(yī)治，全世界已經(jīng)取得了令人欽佩的進步?？墒沁@些年來，咱們一

19、直很掉隊，因為算上所有開始同意醫(yī)治的人，也及不上更多的人受感染的速度。今非昔比。那個月的新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2021年是第一年同意醫(yī)治的人比感染艾滋病病毒的人多 了。這為何顯得意義非凡？因為病人的醫(yī)治不單單是延續(xù)他們的生命，還急劇減少了將病毒 傳染給他人的概率。正如流行病專家所說的那樣，這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折點。在能宣告艾滋病已經(jīng)無所可畏之前，咱們還有很長的路要走，可是這確實是里程碑式的一步。 當我在20世紀90年代閱讀一篇提到名為輪狀病毒引發(fā)的腹瀉病，一年里能致使成千上萬的 兒童死亡，我不敢相信這種我從來沒聽過的病毒殺死了那么多小孩?？墒禽啝畈《緵]受多大重視，因為在發(fā)達國家?guī)缀鯊目刹荒苤滤酪灰灰虼巳澜缍计驅(qū)δ?個只阻礙貧困國家人民的疾病視而不見。比起以往更多的小孩同意了輪狀病毒疫苗接種從很多方面來看，輪狀病毒是我致力委身于全世界健康的催化劑一一事實上，咱們基金會的 第一筆補助確實是幫忙對抗輪狀病毒。從那以后，多虧了廉價又高效的疫苗，死于這種疾病 的兒童就減少了近乎一半。同過去相較的今天，更多小孩同意了疫苗接種。舉個例子，在印度，該病毒一年殺死了幾乎8萬兒童，政府決定在今年為貧困的小孩發(fā)放免 費疫苗。而那里
