I decided to find information as to why everyone should be on board with the eradication of polio. This is a proposal claim to get the whole world to participate in polio eradication. To learn about the topic I typed “current eradication of polio” in the google search bar and clicked on the second suggestion which led me to the following website: http://www.polioeradication.org/Dataandmonitoring/Poliothisweek.aspx . This site provides a table from the WHO, World Health Organization, with information on the amount of total cases of polio in 2011 and 2010. A number that caught my eye is that only 17 countries were reported having cases of polio in 2011. Even more interesting is that in the 17 countries a total of only 647 cases. This makes the percentage of people effected by polio about .00000009%. This percentage being ridiculously low just proves how effective the eradication of polio has been so far. This proof alone should be enough to get everyone who is not on board with the vaccines on board so the world can finally be rid polio.
