    There is no reason why #polio should persist anywhere in the world. From 350,000 wild poliovirus cases in 1988, there were just 29 last year. Read this joint statement by the Chairs of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. http://bit.ly/2DvCaax  #EndPoliopic.twitter.com/sE9Spu8zj3

        Drawing any parallels between smallpox and polio epidemiology is a dangerous game, and potentially part of the problem. Very different pathogen ==> entirely different epidemiology. DA Henderson: https://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/86/12/08-041208/en/ …pic.twitter.com/NHwR2eFQ3s

        Like other diseases, Polio came from nature originally. Chances are there are going to be recurrences of Polio and those other diseases. For example, Smallpox. Total and complete eradication forever is just not likely.
