The Carter Center set out to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, shortly after the World Health Organization (WHO) targeted it for global elimination and five years after Carter left office. The disease is spread by drinking stagnant water infested with tiny fleas called copepods that contain Guinea worm larvae.

A good man and honourable man, Mr. Carter. He will be missed by many.

I liked him as well.

America Still Needs Jimmy Carter’s Health Care Agenda

https://time.com/6338230/jimmy-carter-dies-health-care/

In recent years, major new studies have tried to rehabilitate the presidency of Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at age 100. They’ve emphasized a range of underappreciated accomplishments in everything from foreign policy to environmental protection and racial equity.

More than any other modern president, he took on the health care industry, as well as his own allies, by attempting to address the high costs of American health care. And his health care proposals pushed his party toward the policy strategies that eventually produced the landmark Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Carter’s willingness to tackle the politically perilous task of trying to rein in health care costs offers a template for the kind of leadership and focus needed to address the health care system’s enduring flaws in 2024.

Carter entered office at a moment when health care spending was skyrocketing. Between 1970 and January 1977, total national health expenditures had more than doubled, from $74 billion to $152 billion. As a percentage of gross domestic product, health care spending had risen from 6.9% to 8.1%. (17.6% today, for reference https://www.cms.gov/data-research/statistics-trends-and-reports/nation
al-health-expenditure-data/historical )

Beautiful piece of music and so appropriate for Mr. Carter's passing.

The Time Jimmy Carter Probably Saved The World And Almost Nobody Noticed

Possibly the most important act of Jimmy Carter’s presidency has been almost entirely forgotten, even by his supporters.

By Stephen Luntz | Dec 31, 2024

https://www.iflscience.com

The story starts in 1974 when Professor F. Sherwood Rowland proposed that CFCs, whose use was rapidly expanding, might pose a threat to the ozone layer. Rowland would subsequently share the 1995 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for this work, but at the time, CFC manufacturers hit back that the claims were “purely theoretical”. Technically speaking they were right. No one really knew if CFCs would actually have these effects in the upper atmosphere, a region of the planet we had barely begun to study.

Unfortunately, others pointed out, if the theory was right, damage to the ozone layer would expose the surface to so much ultraviolet radiation, little life would survive above ground or in the upper layers of the ocean. Even lifeforms not directly under threat depend on more vulnerable species for food or pollination – total ecosystem collapse was a real possibility.

Doing nothing would be the ultimate gamble.

The manufacturers established lobby groups arguing no action be taken until we had proof. DuPont’s chair called the idea CFCs might damage the ozone layer “science fiction”. Carter, and the majority of the US Congress, feared by the time the evidence was in it might be too late.

Once the legislation passed, Carter had the Environmental Protection Agency pursue it vigorously. Now the incentives had changed, manufacturers quietly set about finding alternatives, even as they continued to voice opposition. When Ronald Reagan defeated Carter at the 1980 election his administration refused to implement the Act, and his energy secretary suggested people wear sunscreen instead of keeping the planet habitable. However, finding replacements turned out to be much easier than expected. DuPont was well on the way to developing alternatives for many uses by the time it became clear the laws wouldn’t be enforced.
