"Discoveries of the cause for diseases and their prevention by vaccines.
These discoveries and developments have been a hallmark for
twentieth-century medicine and provide a remarkable heritage for the
people of the future...Present vaccines now prevent more than 4 million
deaths per year worldwide. Prevention of one million deaths per year occurs from application of measles vaccine alone."
