And what about Polio–I believe Canadian Children are no longer vaccinated against this nasty disease. It is NOT wiped out and is still prevalent in 3rd world countries. It is an Oral med and simple to give (no needle) I seem to remember we used to get it at school. All we need is someone to bring it back to North America and will the Government support these crippled children.

“The international spread of polio to date in 2014 constitutes an extraordinary event and a public health risk to other states for which a co-ordinated international response is essential,” WHO assistant director general Bruce Aylward told reporters.

“Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids.”

This is the first time that the WHO has declared a public health emergency since the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic.
