Laurie Garrett's two big books (The Coming Plague, 94 and
Betrayal of Trust: ... , 00) make it clear that most of the
world's politicians and CEOs are more interested in saving a few
rich lives than in saving billions of poor lives. So public
health has gone down the tubes and drains. And plagues are coming
on stronger and stronger. Globalization without adequate public
health/nutrition puts us all at risk. Garrett's original Ebola
coverage won her a Pulitzer Prize. She has also won a Peabody,
two Polks and numerous other prizes/awards. There are enough
deadly viruses in biofreezers to kill us all. International
activism pointed in the right direction could save us but the
wrong direction seems epidemic in our societies. Clearly, the
power to save lives has been thoroughly stifled by corporate
greed, militarism and bureaucratic bungling. For giving us many
clues in Newsday, in her books and in other sources about the
inadequacies of support for out sickness fighters, Laurie Garrett
has been named Futuresaver of the Week. Click the links below for
