I went to google and searched “effectiveness of the polio vaccine.” I came upon this site http://www.kidrisk.org/mainFrame/poliopub3.html, which talked about how many lives the vaccine has saved and the cost efficiency of the vaccination. “The U.S. invested over $35 billion between 1955 and 2005 and will continue to invest billions into the future to pay for polio vaccination. These historical and future investments translate into over 1.7 billion vaccinations that prevent approximately 1.1 million cases of paralytic polio and over 160,000 deaths, thus saving Americans hundreds of billions of dollars in treatment costs.Due to treatment cost savings, the investment implies net benefits of approximately $180 billion (1955 net present value), even without incorporating the intangible costs of suffering and death and of averted fear.” This quote from the site explains to how effective and helpful the polio vaccine has been. It’s also has saved billions of dollars in treatment costs producing a cheaper way to prevent a disease from spreading. This claim is a consequential and proposal claim. It states the effects of the vaccines and how helpful it already has been and then proposes the continuation of these vaccines will save more moneys and lives in the future. This quote shows exactly how great an eradication of Polio would be with this vaccination because it has saved many live already and is very cost efficient. There should be no problem with eradicating this disease when the main benefits are saved lives at a very cheap easy price.
