In order to find more out about the eradication of polio, I googled the CDC (Center for Disease Control). Upon arriving at the site, I typed polio in the search bar and clicked on a link leading to the world wide eradication of the disease which lead me to this site. The information that stands out to me is the data table at the bottom of the page. Even though there are 26 countries with reported cases of polio in the last few years, the total number of infected individuals is relatively low. In 2010 only 1352 cases were reported globally. Being that the world population is roughly 6,840,507,000 people, finding that only 1352 cases of polio exist should provide enough evidence that we have polio on the ropes. We require just a final “push” to eradicate it entirely. This is a proposal claim in favor of the eradication of polio. If the number of infected people can be 0, it should be.
