In the Genocide Games scores, it looks likes humans are going up 2-0 versus "diseases in humans"

The Guinea Worm is down from 3.5 million cases in 1986 to "5" in the first half of 2012.

Rod of Asclepius for the win!

While I am willing to feel a small pang for the plight of the guinea worm, and hope they freeze a bunch of them or something, I can't say that I'll be sorry to see it go.

Well stupid anti-vax parents like Mayim Bialik and Jenny McCartney may be instrumental in bringing it back.

anti-vax parents like Mayim Bialik [citation needed]

I see a ton of references to her being Vegan and counter-commercial, but none to her being anti-factual. Cite?

Sadly, the WHO are not as optimistic as Scientific American (http://www.who.int/dracunculiasis/en/). They count 143 cases reported so far this year (most in South Sudan), a drop of around 63% from the same period last year. Still, it's excellent progress.
