That is an awful lot of us , being positively affected by so few of them.
Many people today would like to do something to make our world a better place but are overwhelmed by the seemingly impossible odds against having any visible effect.
Take heart !
There was never more than three other people at a time involved with Dr Martin Henry Dawson in his five year long quest to bring forth 'penicillin for all'.
His tiny project had no government grants grants nor much enthusiastic institutional support from his own university.
Even Dawson's immediate bosses opposed his efforts - but this was nothing to the resistance he got from the Anglo-American medical establishment.
That medical establishment was firmly enmeshed within the wartime governments of "win the war at all costs (to human rights)" FDR and Churchill.
Dawson himself was dying the whole time of his quest.
Dying of a particularly debilitating disease (Myasthenia Gravis , MG) , well before the days when patients with it could expect to make their way through semi-normal days.
