Good news. Edward Jenner(爱德华·詹纳，疫苗之父)’s rustic(质朴的，乡村的) thatched(茅草盖的) hut in his Gloucestershire garden where he conducted his first smallpox(天花) vaccination in 1796 has just been saved by English Heritage(英格兰遗产委员会). Here Jenner gave free vaccinations every week to local people. Here he became the single human being to save more lives than any other person who has ever lived.(在这里，他成为有史以来拯救生命最多的人。)
好消息。爱德华·詹纳在格洛斯特郡花园里那座质朴的茅草屋——1796年他在这里进行了首次天花疫苗接种——刚刚被英格兰遗产委员会抢救下来。詹纳每周在这里为当地人免费接种疫苗。在这里，他成为有史以来拯救生命最多的人。
This triumph of the age of enlightenment(启蒙运动；启蒙), at a time when a third of children died before adulthood, is too easily forgotten. But enlightenment itself has been in retreat, with Robert F Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s health secretary, leading the vanguard of unreason, dismantling vaccination programmes and stirring vaccine conspiracy and paranoia around the world.(但启蒙本身正在退却，唐纳德·特朗普的卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪正带领着非理性的先锋队，瓦解疫苗接种计划，在全世界煽动疫苗阴谋论和偏执情绪。) His infectious messaging has contributed to falling vaccination rates in rich as well as poor countries. Here’s hoping(但愿，希望) this week is the end of that Trumpian rolling back of reason.
这一启蒙时代的胜利——在那个三分之一儿童活不到成年的时代——太容易被遗忘了。但启蒙本身正在退却，唐纳德·特朗普的卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪正带领着非理性的先锋队，瓦解疫苗接种计划，在全世界煽动疫苗阴谋论和偏执情绪。他极具传染性的言论导致富国和穷国的疫苗接种率都在下降。但愿本周就是特朗普式理性倒退的终结。
What would Jenner think now as the winter flu season approaches? Last year fewer than half of frontline(前线的，一线的) NHS staff in England were vaccinated, with only one in 10 trust(信托（NHS的医疗机构）)s reaching the (very low) NHS target of 60% protected against flu. Healthcare workers have a high risk of catching flu, spreading it to vulnerable people and to their own families, and taking sick days when they are most needed.(医护人员感染流感、将其传染给脆弱人群和自己家人、以及在最需要他们的时候请病假的风险很高。) These people are trained in science, steeped in(浸淫于，充满) evidence of the extraordinary value of vaccines, and yet many are reluctant(不情愿的，勉强的). Doctors were the staff group that scored the highest, but still only half of them got vaccinated – half! – instead of influencing the public towards protection.
随着冬季流感季节临近，詹纳会怎么想？去年，英格兰前线NHS员工中不到一半接种了疫苗，只有十分之一的信托达到了（非常低的）NHS目标——60%的人获得流感防护。医护人员感染流感、将其传染给脆弱人群和自己家人、以及在最需要他们的时候请病假的风险很高。这些人受过科学训练，浸淫在疫苗具有非凡价值的证据中，但许多人却不情愿。医生是得分最高的员工群体，但仍然只有一半人接种了疫苗——一半！——而不是去影响公众接受保护。
