Polio - Let's All Eradicate It


My generation are fully aware of the consequences of Polio, me personally, who had it at the age of 5 and came through it unscathed, except for a very slight walking issue. Whilst tens of thousands died and similar numbers remain with severe mobility problems and that is only in this country, world wide it's a much worse picture and in undeveloped countries much much worse. 
Now you won't often see me giving praise to a Tory led Government, however with them doubling their contribution next year to eradicate that awful decease, Polio, needs applauding.
Polio is a debilitating diseased which like smallpox needs to be fully eradicated, the sooner the better.
