The first case of Poliomyelitis was in 1894;
the beginning of a pandemic that swept America for 60 years─ the deadly disease caused death and paralysis
in millions, and yet we found the vaccine, it took 60 years to develop it, but it
mostly extricated polio out of America, and throughout the world.
In 1952, nearly 60,000 children were
infected with the Polio virus; thousands were
paralyzed, and more than 3,000 died. I lived through “Polio,” in fact I
was one of its victims and survivors.
Contrary to this modern time, the country pulled together,
it didn’t panic, it didn’t fight each other, it’s enemy was the disease, not
each other.
It didn’t blame, it learned
and grew in medical knowledge; first to prevent the disease, second to treat
its victims.
Don’t panic!!! God’s still on the throne, He’s still in
control, and He still loves us.
