The Art of Saving a Life

The Art of Saving a Life, sponsored by the Gates Foundation, is a collection of stories about vaccination and immunization, as told by more than 30 world-renowned photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers, and musicians. The intent is to promote vaccination just in time for an international effort to raise funds to inoculate millions, especially in poor nations. The full collection of art will be unveiled over the course of January 2015.

It made me so mad on New Year's Eve to see Jenny McCarthy on TV that I ranted a bit about vaccines. (Sorry, kids!)

So I am grateful to see an effort to push back against anti-vax nonsense with such an interesting mix of artworks.

The other day one of my sons was asking what I would do if I was the richest man in the world, and I told him that Bill (and Melinda!) Gates has done a LOT of good with his money, especially around making poor people's lives better.
