What A Virus Can Teach

A Polio virus is very small, yet it has a large impact.

In the mid twentieth century the disease wreaked all manner of havoc. Then, with effort, research, technology and most of all, concern, polio was nearly eradicated.

It still exists. And so long as it does, every child is theoretically at risk so long as any one child in Nigeria, or Afghanistan, is still susceptible.

Polio affected the world. Can you imagine an FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, without polio?
