A year after Jimmy Carter’s death, the disease he swore to eradicate reaches an all-time low – CBS Atlanta
A year after Jimmy Carter’s death, the disease he swore to eradicate reaches an all-time low

The Carter Center’s decades-long fight against an ancient parasite affecting some of the world’s poorest may soon end in a victory.
After leaving the White House, former President Jimmy Carter made the eradication of Guinea worm a top mission of the Carter Center, the nonprofit he and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, founded. Even after entering home hospice care in 2023, aides said Carter kept asking for Guinea worm updates.
Rarely fatal but searingly painful and debilitating, Guinea worm disease infects people who drink water tainted with larvae that grow inside the body into worms as long as 3 feet. The noodle-thin parasites then burrow their way out, breaking through the skin in burning blisters.
To get rid of the parasite, worms have to be gently wound around a stick as they’re slowly pulled through the skin. Removing an entire worm without breaking it can take weeks.
When the Carter Center started leading the global Guinea worm eradication campaign, an estimated 3.5 million people in 21 African and Asian countries were afflicted with the disease. On World NTD Day on Friday, the center announced that there were only 10 human cases reported across the world.
The center said two of the provisional cases were detected in South Sudan, four in Chad, and four in Ethiopia.
These numbers remain provisional until they are officially confirmed by each country during the campaign’s annual meeting, which is usually held in April.

The lecture, entitled “Final Days of the Fiery Serpent: Guinea Worm Eradication,” was delivered by Mr. Carter on behalf of The Carter Centre.

While he didn’t quite get his wish, he and Mrs. Carter would be proud to know there were only 10 human cases reported in 2025. And they would remind us that the work continues until we reach zero,” said Carter Center CEO Paige Alexander.
Defeating a disease through persuasion
Guinea worm would be the second human disease to be eradicated in history, following smallpox. Remarkably, it’d be the first without a medicine or vaccine.
Instead of finding a cure, the campaign sought to break the worm’s life cycle in communities suffering from the parasite —persuading millions to change their behavior.
Workers from the center and host governments trained volunteers to teach neighbors to filter water through cloth screens, removing tiny fleas that carry the larvae. Villagers learned to watch for and report new cases — often for rewards of $100 or more. Infected people and dogs had to be prevented from tainting water sources.

The Carter Center says there were more than 1 million rumors investigated in 2025, most within 24 hours of notification.
“This campaign reflects the values that shaped my grandparents’ lives — the conviction that hope, hard work, and respect for everyone can change the world. Seeing Guinea worm cases reach historic lows is one of the clearest expressions of that legacy and our commitment to the communities where trust has been earned,” said Jason Carter, the Carter Center board chair and eldest grandchild of Jimmy and Rosalynn.
Jimmy Carter made eradication a personal mission
Mr. Carter’s fundraising enabled the center to pour $500 million into fighting Guinea worm. He persuaded manufacturers to donate larvicide as well as nylon cloth and specially made drinking straws to filter water. His visits to afflicted villages often attracted news coverage, raising awareness globally.

The Pentagon: A Global Oil-Protection Service
The most significant expression of this trend has been the transformation of the U.S. military into a global oil-protection service whose primary function is the guarding of overseas energy supplies as well as their global delivery systems (pipelines, tanker ships, and supply routes). This overarching mission was first articulated by President Jimmy Carter in January 1980, when he described the oil flow from the Persian Gulf as a “vital interest” of the United States, and affirmed that this country would employ “any means necessary, including military force” to overcome an attempt by a hostile power to block that flow.
When President Carter issued this edict, quickly dubbed the Carter Doctrine, the United States did not actually possess any forces capable of performing this role in the Gulf. To fill this gap, Carter created a new entity, the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF), an ad hoc assortment of U.S-based forces designated for possible employment in the Middle East. In 1983, President Reagan transformed the RDJTF into the Central Command (Centcom), the name it bears today. Centcom exercises command authority over all U.S. combat forces deployed in the greater Persian Gulf area including Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa.

The New American Oligarchy
... The origins of oligarchy lay in the late 1970s and in the unlikely figure of Jimmy Carter, a Democratic president presiding over a Congress controlled by Democrats. It was Carter’s successes and failures, they argue, that kicked off what economist Paul Krugman has labeled “the Great Divergence.”
In 1978, the Carter administration and Congress took a red pen to the tax code, slashing the top rate of the capital gains tax from 48% to 28% — an enormous boon for wealthy Americans. At the same time, the most ambitious effort in decades to reform American labor law in order to make it easer to unionize died in the Senate, despite a 61-vote Democratic supermajority.

Some thoughts I had today about President Carter (corrected): President Carter did some exemplary things as president: he appointed RBG to the US Court of Appeals for the DC District, brokered the Camp David Agreement between Israel & Egypt, and appointed a racially diverse federal judiciary, among other wonderful things. Of great importance to Alaskans and the world, President Carter signed ANILCA (Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act), which expanded the Public Land Order consisting of nearly 9 million acres established by Eisenhower to 19 million acres and renamed the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge or ANWR. His post-presidency was, I think, where we got to see Jimmy Carter, the humanitarian, Christian, and peace-maker. He walked the walk. I will forever be grateful to Jimmy Carter for serving in the US military, as Governor of GA, and as POTUS. He was truly one in a million and will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace, good sir.
