Donald Mcneil writes in NYT article that now Octogenarian Donald Henderson who is believed to be the strongest force in elimination of Small Pox. He at times is very skeptical that Polio can be eradicated in a short time.
Polio has a strange history now it is eliminated from 99 percent of the population. Yet polio Occurs in India ,Pakistan and Nigeria.Other reason is it is very difficult and arduous process to identify patients with it.To immune patients you have to use oral drops three times.
Dr. de Quadros, a former director of the Pan American Health Organization, has his own mantle: “The Man Who Found the Last Case of Smallpox in Ethiopia and Chased Polio and Measles Out of the Western Hemisphere.” It was the conversation with Dr Quadros which changed the mind of Dr Donald Henderson. With commitment of Bill Gates and his foundation ,WHO and help of group of eminent scholars and scientist it is time and Dr Henderson believes that stars have lined up for elimination of Polio.
FROM BILL GATES TALKING ON CHARLIE ROSE ONE FEELS THAT THERE IS NO FEATHER HE RATHER HAVE THAN ELIMINATION OF POLIO, SECOND DISEASE TO BE ELIMINATED .
for HUMANITY SAKE I HOPE HE GETS IT.
