    Thank you. Thank you very much for this video.
    2016 has been an aweful year. A death in my family, I got an uncurable disease that'll affect my whole life and I started to be ashamed for being a human. If I had to describe the current status of mankind with three words, it would be hate, greed and ignorance. Really, I can only think of one really uplifting moment this year. And that was your video about CRISPR. It really had such a big impact on me. And this video right here is also a small dose of optimism that I desperately need. So thank you, Kurzgesagt Team.

    Maybe it's because this is among Kurzgesagt's earlier content, but this video is pretty embarrassing. To suggest that pharmaceutical companies donated drugs to eradicate these diseases "with no other motivation than to help" humanity is absolutely ludicrous. Such acts whitewash their reputation while having a minimal impact on their bottom line so that content creators can make videos like this lauding them when sponsored to do so by corporate-friendly charities, such that we might overlook all the harm they do.

      My thoughts exactly. NTDs are still one of humanity's biggest problems. This video makes it seem like big pharma came and saved the day and solved NTDs when in in reality, the donations barely made a dent in the number of infections. They're called neglected tropical diseases specifically because big pharma tends not to give a shit about them. It's great that some kind effort is being made but it's a battle that is far from won.

    Dear creators of kurzgesagt, the reason I love your videos apart from the great hard work and nicely done animations is that you represent every topic with an open mind to situations. Often we see in news mostly worse things happening. Media represents things overly exaggerated like we are not progressing, things are going worse, everyone is evil or the world is going to end (2012?). But watching your videos in the middle of this representing topics not as beings bound by nation or race but beings representing humankind as a whole and representing a very unbiased point of view is just something we just don't get to see nearly everywhere else. I feel like if our community just stops differentiating over race and nations but rather move as a whole human community then who knows what we might be able to achieve. We need more people with an open mind like you guys.
    Hope you will read it one day.
    Thank you!

The only reason I brought it up was because I find it completely insane that most people on this planet can dedicated themselves to some being that claims to be benevolent but according to their teachings he created this shit. Like how can you look at this and say "yeah, God is good". This may be horrible, but the insanity of what people do based on religion is even worse.

      @@PeakPeakPeakPeakPeak Your an idiot. Bill gates is the equivalent of a modern day eugenics justification. He has deep, disturbing ties to child pedophiles. His open statements on "reducing" the world population is another way of saying mass murder. He is not a great coder....he is excellent at violating antitrust laws and becoming a modern day robber Baron by his monopolies or near monopolies but not because he offers the best product. He's an evil man and the world would be better off without people like him. I lived not that far from him in Seattle.........don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. He's evil in a sweater.

      I know an anti vaxxer.. She is just a stupid GP with over 30 years of experience, has vaccinated kids herself. Is 100% sure that vaccines are responsible for many autism cases from her own experience. There is no evidence whatsoever that vaccinated people get sick less than non vaccinated.... If you still want to pump your newborn baby with dozens of needles with bacteria and liquid metals be my guest... Don't force others to take part in this child mutilation cult... Btw a non vaccinated person is much more likely to contract a disease from a vaccinated person and not the other way around you stupid shit for brains internet trolls....

    I had Dracun Culiasis when I was 5, it was one of the WORST years of my life.
    Backstory: I lived with my Russian-speaking grandfather who owned a cabin in the woods. The only way to get water was through a small well, it was notorious for infecting people in the area with NTDs, and they eventually stopped using the well when I was about 7. But I drank some of the water and got Dracun, we went to the doctor every day to slowly pull it out, along with slowly pulling it out at home. It hurts, but it just feels like a wriggly spaghetti noodle being pulled out from your leg. Ugh, what a weird feeling
