Jeri Dansky<p>Hank Green on vaccines, the Clean Air Act, smoke detectors, etc.</p><p>“The tragedy of prevention goes like this: The most effective way to save lives (prevention) is the least noticeable, which leads us to undervaluing it in our individual choices, in what we celebrate, and in public policy, and that undervaluing of prevention leads to a great deal of needless death and suffering.”</p><p>"This is the weird, frustrating, beautiful thing about prevention. When it works, nothing happens. There's no story. There are no first responders, no Hank Beat Measles party, no documentary films. Just a bunch of parents taking their kids to school, who in another world, wouldn't be doing that."</p><p>I appreciated Hank's short video:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndeB_BpsRGk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=ndeB_BpsRG</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p>h/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@kottke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>kottke</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>measles</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
