Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only places in the world that polio is still endemic.

CW4 Guy Butler It doesn't take a lot for the diseases to get re-established in an area that is free of disease. Get a group of anti-vaccine parents that will not vaccinate their children, plus exposure and you get a pocket of disease.

Perhaps immigration can have unintended consequences. Eradicated in 2003, now making a comeback. What has changed in London? Seems like there needs to be a big push to vac the unvaccinated. I can understand why people may be hesitant about the new mRNA vac, but the polio vac has been safe and effective for decades.

This sound very serious indeed, PO2 Russell "Russ" Lincoln!!! President Biden said on a news clip that there might be another Pandemic... I wonder if this is what he meant might happen...
