Bill Nye the “Science Guy” is using his analytical skills to take on some widespread myths about poverty and health which perpetuate a failed status quo and lead to unnecessarily high infant death rates.
First he takes on the popular claim that the America spends an exorbitant amount of money on foreign aid, although the facts prove that the opposite is actually true.
Then, Nye notes that many people mistakenly believe that wars and natural disasters kill more people than anything else. However, he explains that while they do kill many, such casualties are “dwarfed” by the number of people who succumb to preventable diseases, especially in countries like Africa that lack preventive resources.
