For only the second time in world history, a dread disease is being eradicated. Since 1984, Rotary’s PolioPlus campaign has led the charge, eliminating 99.9% of wild polio virus. From 350,000 cases and 50,000 deaths per year in 1984, we were down to just 12 cases in all of 2023. In the Spring of 2024, the Taliban stopped door-to-door vaccinations and the number of cases rose to 99 in the two remaining endemic nations of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The sudden jump demonstrates just how persistent and virulent is the wild polio virus. Like the EverReady Bunny, we must "keep on keeping on” lest polio returns and unvaccinated people are again needlessly at risk of paralysis and death. We’re indeed “This Close” but ever so far. To the unvaccinated, polio is just a plane ride away. Courage, Commitment and Cash will stem the tide. Thank you for your past generosity and your continued support by giving to Rotary’s signature program, PolioPlus.
