"I have polio, on my terms!" - BRIAN LYNCH, NEWSRADIO S1E1 'Pilot' (1995) with casting director Bonnie Zane, Hey, That's Me! - A Commentary Podcast #HeyThatsMe #WorldPolioDay #BrianLynch

Thanks go to everyone working to eradicate polio.

And if you should be wondering why it has not been eradicated yet; you may blame the CIA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_fake_vaccination_campaign_in_Pakistan

We are on the verge of making #polio the second human disease to be consigned to history.

Decades ago, humanity bridged geopolitical and geographic borders to end smallpox.

Let's do the same for polio. Let's finish the job.

Today we renew our commitment: End Polio โ€” Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere. Polio is preventable. Vaccination works. Together we can finish what decades of health workers, volunteers, scientists and communities began.

- Polio mainly affects children under five and can cause irreversible paralysis or death.
- Global vaccination campaigns have reduced wild poliovirus cases by over 99% in the last 35 years.
- Any missed child is a riskโ€”gaps in immunization can allow the virus to return.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฑ๐—ผ
- Ensure every child in your care is fully immunized on schedule (including boosters).
- Support and share information about local vaccination drives.
- Practice and promote good sanitation and hand hygiene.
- Report suspected cases or unexplained acute flaccid paralysis to local health authorities.
- Donate time or resources to trusted organizations working on polio eradication.

- Polio spreads mainly via the fecalโ€“oral route and through contaminated water/food.
- Vaccine-associated paralytic polio is extremely rare; the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.
- Continued surveillance and high immunization coverage are essential to keep communities safe.

Share this message, get informed, and help reach every child. Ending polio is possible โ€” but only if no child is left behind.

#WorldPolioDay
I remember my first #PolioVaccine
It was an oral vaccination and tasted like sugar water.
The advertising in Germany: The #polio vaccination is sweet, polio is bitter.
#PolioDay

Today is 24th of October.

Today is World Polio Day, World Tripe Day, United Nations Day, National Food Day.
