He brought to parliamentary politics a moral fervor which made him the personification of the Victorian Age, but which also challenged the complacency of its imperialistic assumptions.
In this 1897 biography, the Liberal Irish member of Parliament, Justin McCarthy, presents a Gladstone still vividly remembered, rising to speak in the House of Commons among a host of illustrious contemporaries, including Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Palmerston, and Sir Robert Peel, or expounding his views to a bored and baffled Queen Victoria, who called him a 'ridiculous, wild, and incomprehensible old fanatic.'

Rachel.NARRATOR: A new life begins. Out of her mother’s womb, Rachel Murphy is now surrounded by a new world filled with countless germs. Modern medicine will do what it can to protect her.NURSE: It’s just a tiny little stick.NARRATOR: Barely an hour old, Rachel gets her first shot, against hepatitis B. This is the first of up to 35 inoculations she will get in the next six years of her life to fight 14 diseases.on screen: Diphtheria, Hib disease, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, meningitis, mumps, pertussis, pneumonia, polio, rotavirus, rubella, tetanusNARRATOR: Public health doctors celebrate vaccines as one of medicine’s shining achievements.PAUL OFFIT, M.D., Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia: They’ve increased our lifespan by 30 years. Hib would cause 20,000 to 25,000 cases a year.
I mean, polio would paralyze, you know, tens of thousands of children every year. I mean, diphtheria was the most common killer of teenagers in the 1920s. I mean, you know, vaccines— the benefit of vaccines is clear.MELINDA WHARTON, M.D., M.P.H., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Well, there’s now 16 diseases that are preventable by vaccination for children. Fourteen of those are diseases that we vaccinate infants and young children for, and two of them are diseases that we vaccinate adolescents. From my point of view, being able to prevent 16 diseases by vaccination is a really good thing.NARRATOR: But this public health miracle has been losing ground. Since we first reported on the vaccine war in 2010, more parents across America have decided not to fully vaccinate their children. Like all wars, this one has casualties.NEWSCASTER: Health officials suspect someone who was out at Disneyland resort in mid-December had the measles, and that’s how the disease spread.NEWSCASTER: The measles outbreak that began at Disneyland in December has now spread to more than 90 people in the U.S.NARRATOR: December 2014, the U.S.
Experienced a major measles outbreak, a disease that had been eliminated from this country 15 years ago.NEWSCASTER: This has got to be so frustrating for public health officials.SETH MNOOKIN, Assoc. Dir., Science Writing, MIT: Now it’s spread to over 100 infections to different states around the country. Because of that, it’s something that’s gotten a lot of attention.NARRATOR: Seth Mnookin is a science writer at MIT who has reported extensively on the vaccine debate.SETH MNOOKIN: A single person infected with this disease can have implications that are going to go on for months.
Because it is the most infectious microbe known to humankind, the efforts to contain it, the efforts to track down everyone that the infected person has come in contact with are just incredibly, incredibly expensive.NARRATOR: The CDC tracks outbreaks of infectious diseases around the country from its center in Atlanta. Over the last 15 years, they’ve detected pockets of diseases like whooping cough and measles. The CDC uses forensic techniques to dissect in fine detail how dangerous pathogens can spread.They analyzed one such event, a measles outbreak that struck an under-vaccinated area of San Diego in 2008. Like most measles outbreaks, it came from abroad. It began when an infected 7-year-old returned from a family vacation in Switzerland on January 15th.The child gave measles to two siblings, and collectively, they infected classmates at the San Diego Cooperative Charter School in Linda Vista.
A visit to the Children’s Clinic of La Jolla spread the infection to four others. One of these, an infant, flew on a plane to Hawaii, where she was intercepted and quarantined. The other 250 passengers had to be contacted and tracked.Dr.
