Excerpt / Summary

If we fail to get over the finish line, we will need to continue expensive control measures for the indefinite future. A recent analysis concludes that polio eradication would save up to $50 billion by 2035. More importantly, without eradication, every year, polio could disable or kill more than 100,000 children.
