Eradication, by its very nature, is public health with a conscience. The public health control officer can sleep tranquilly, salving his conscience with the thought that most of his responsibility has been discharged – that he did not have enough money to do any more. The eradicator knows that his success is not measured by what has been accomplished but, rather, is the extent of his failure indicated by what remains to be done. He must stamp out the last embers of infection in his jurisdiction. His slogan must be: ANY IS TOO MANY.","author":"Fred Lowe Soper","tags":["accomplishment","completion","conscience","disease-control","equal-rights","eradication","failure","goal-setting","health","infection","leadership","malaria","malaria-eradication","medicine","morality","perfection","protection","public-health","quality-of-life","success","yellow-fever-eradication"],"id":167331,"author_id":"Fred+Lowe+Soper"},{"text":"Was it possible to feel nostalgic about something that had never happened to him, possible for nostalgia to be taken in by the body as a free pathogen to infect the consciousness with stray sentiments? Perhaps, in his dreams, he had traveled back in time, or even drifted into another dimension of space-time and inhabited the body, experiences, and nostalgia of another. To even envisage so allowed the trauma of those lost moments, though not his own, to draw from him a certain envy for the entity in whose memories he had basked vicariously. . .Perhaps, nostalgia was a microorganism. . .The bacterium that infected. . .
