00:00 Ted Talk "World today has 6.9 billion people, headed up to about 9 billion... If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, REPRODUCTIVE health services, we could LOWER THAT by 10-15%"

00:35 Sanjay Gupta: 10 billion dollars over the next 10 years to make it the year of the Vaccines, what does that mean exactly?
"Well over this decade, we believe that unbelievable progress can be made both in inventing new vaccines and making sure they get out to all the children who need them - we can cut the number of children who die every year from about 9 million to half of that if we have success on it, the benefits there in terms of reducing sickness, reducing THE POPULATION GROWTH, it really allows the society a chance to take care of itself, once you've made that INTERVENTION."

01:15 "But if we go back to the key-metrics, which is what the foundation looks at.... Can we drop the number of children who died per year in half, and get the reduction in sickness and POPULATION GROWTH that comes with that - that is sort of, front of mind all the time"

01:41 "We see now there's a type of foreign assistance for vaccines, or for AIDS treatment, that are incredibly effective, these are all about saving lives, and the good news is that as you make those breakthroughs, the POPULATION GROWTH in the country goes down - these are all about saving lives."
