比尔盖茨的终总结

1、比尔盖茨的2021年关总结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

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

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

18、全然的方式一一而且通过以下的估 量，2021绝对又是让人欢喜的一年。和之前相较，更多小孩过上了 5岁的生日。对我而言，衡量进步最好的方式之一确实是看看，有多少小孩的死亡能够幸免。同过去相较的今天，更多的小孩活着过上了 5岁的生日。在今年，至少是持续第42年儿童 的死亡率有所下降。而且不单单是朝正确的方向一一它比任何人期望的都下降的快。经济学人在9月写了一篇关于那个问题的长文，自从2001年开始，估量全世界已拯救 了 1360万儿童的生命。不难想象，这确实是世界正在变好的标志。咱们在对抗艾滋病上取得了里程碑式的进步关于艾滋病病毒感染者的医治，全世界已经取得了令人钦佩的进步。可是这些年来，咱们一

19、直很掉队，因为算上所有开始同意医治的人，也及不上更多的人受感染的速度。今非昔比。那个月的新数据显示，2021年是第一年同意医治的人比感染艾滋病病毒的人多 了。这为何显得意义非凡？因为病人的医治不单单是延续他们的生命，还急剧减少了将病毒 传染给他人的概率。正如流行病专家所说的那样，这是一个转折点。在能宣告艾滋病已经无所可畏之前，咱们还有很长的路要走，可是这确实是里程碑式的一步。 当我在20世纪90年代阅读一篇提到名为轮状病毒引发的腹泻病，一年里能致使成千上万的 儿童死亡，我不敢相信这种我从来没听过的病毒杀死了那么多小孩。可是轮状病毒没受多大重视，因为在发达国家几乎从可不能致死一一因此全世界都偏向对那 个只阻碍贫困国家人民的疾病视而不见。比起以往更多的小孩同意了轮状病毒疫苗接种从很多方面来看，轮状病毒是我致力委身于全世界健康的催化剂一一事实上，咱们基金会的 第一笔补助确实是帮忙对抗轮状病毒。从那以后，多亏了廉价又高效的疫苗，死于这种疾病 的儿童就减少了近乎一半。同过去相较的今天，更多小孩同意了疫苗接种。举个例子，在印度，该病毒一年杀死了几乎8万儿童，政府决定在今年为贫困的小孩发放免 费疫苗。而那里
