This Close... Polio

We are this close to riding the world of Polio.  Did you know that the Gates Foundation provided an additional 50 Million dollars to fight polio.  There were no strings attached.  We did not need to provide matching funds.  Once polio has been eradicated, the world will reap substantial financial, as well as humanitarian, dividends due to foregone polio treatment and rehabilitation costs.  Depending on national decisions on the future use of polio vaccines, these savings could exceed 1 billion er year, savings that can be used to fund other public health priorities.
