“the story of his day. “Americans love the idea of vaccinating Africans. What could be nicer than a photograph of dusty little Nigerian children lined up for inoculation on the front page of the New York Times?

I have spent the day trying to convince women with college educations to vaccinate their children and they argued with me.”
