NBC News reporting that former president Jimmy Carter has passed at 100.
People can argue about his term in office (let's not go there...) but I suspect everyone will praise his work in coming "this close" to eliminating Guinea-Worm disease [cnn report]The parasitic worm can cause debilitating pain and complications, disrupting lives and carrying a significant financial burden. About 3.5 million people had the parasite in the mid-1980s, when Carter turned his attention to the problem, but case numbers are down to just 13 as of 2022, according to preliminary totals from the Carter Center.
