But the fact of the matter is that all scientific evidence would show based upon what we know about this disease that muscle cuts - that is the meat of the animal itself - should not cause any risk to human health.

I have to say that in this particular cow that we're dealing with those parts of the cow were removed and so we don't think there's any risk or very negligible risk to human health with this particular incident.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

We've had risk assessments performed by Harvard University which said that even if we did have a small number of cases in this country that the likelihood of it spreading or getting into any kind of human health problem is very very small.

To get away from poverty you need several things at the same time: school health and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side you need market opportunities information employment and human rights.

I hope for your help to explore and protect the wild ocean in ways that will restore the health and in so doing secure hope for humankind. Health to the ocean means health for us.

Science is the international language so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science that's a real success story for us.

Health is the core of human development.

So I can't show you how exactly health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.

Better understanding of the natural world not only enhances all of us as human beings but can also be harnessed for the better good leading to improved health and quality of life.
