    I always knew that Pharmaceutical companies had my best interests at heart!
  • @LazerLord10
    For something that sounds so widespread and terrible, I'm surprised I've never heard the term 'NTD' before.
  • @shuliu4804
    World: kill them all by 2020 2020: (comes) Everyone: GOOD.
  • Anyone here after that one video calling them propaganda Edit: guys feel free to stop responding to this I really don’t care anymore. If it’s been disproved alright if not I don’t really care. Spare my notifications
  • @torneko6652
    I've never been so happy a video ended happily. Here I thought one day I'd pull a 3 foot long worm out of my leg.

    “We’ll try to eliminate these by 2020.” Coronavirus: I like your plan except for one thing, it sucks.
  • @ayushthosar6005
    Kurzgesagt: We are looking to eliminate all NTD's by 2020 NTD's: Quick! They're on us! Launch the countermeasure! Covid-19: It's my time to shine
  • @darklaughter59
    NTD’s: “look at how scary we are we are going to infect you and shorten your life span” Humans: “We are going to literally erase you from this dimension, the end is near mortal”
