We're in the end game against Polio and winning. Taking Out Polio is a winnable fight because, unlike Covid, Polio is exists only in humans, so a vaccination program can end Polio forever. Many of us remember when Polio was an dread every-summer epidemic across the world, including the US.
Africa has just been declared Polio-free for the first time and wild Polio is now confined to a small area in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where even adversaries cooperate to facilitate innoculating children against Polio.
But end games can be lost through complacency, lack of resources, and failure to follow-through. Ensuring Polio's final defeat currently requires monitoring 70 countries for three years to guard against any new outbreaks - that's an expensive and demanding task.
As long as polio exists anywhere, it remains an ultimate threat everywhere. It would be tragic to falter and lose this fight within sight of the finish line, to the detriment as well of our international reputation.
