The EIS symbol is a shoe with a hole worn in the sole, to signal they wear out shoes tracking down the causes of outbreaks. They serve 2 years on the promise to go anywhere with almost no notice. They ended smallpox, identified HIV, beat back polio, solved dozens of new diseases. Without them? Oof.

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.

They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.

What insanity and cruelty to break that.
