Tom Freedon, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

from 2009 to earlier this year.

Freedon addressed the graduating class of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine here in New York City, May 23rd, 2017.

Scientific rigor and social conscience don't always go together. Some individuals and some institutions

may lack one, the other, or both, but together they are a remarkably powerful combination.

And we need them both, because we face some real threats. We face threats from nature.

Whether it's the next Ebola or Zika or SARS or Pandemic influenza or HIV it is just a few mutations away

We face threats frankly from killer industries

tobacco and other substance unhealthy and addictive substances.

And we face threats from policymakers,

who may deny quality medical care and prevention

to millions of people in this country and around the world. We are also faced

with the threat that America could retreat from or undermine our role in the

world.

Einstein wrote that nationalism is an infantile disease.

It is the measles of mankind.

I'm confident that with your commitment to caring for patients, to advancing knowledge,

the social justice, you will help prevent and stop the spread of that infantile

disease.
