Hello 2025! Let's start talking about all the work that went into the Polio vaccine & our current mostly polio-free world! From an endemic disease that had been around for all time to the resurgence in the 1900s, Polio was a 'childhood' disease that people just expected to happen. Until our dear FDR was afflicted, and the March of Dimes changed philanthropy forever. Learn about fundraising, testing, and the two different polio vaccines this week with us on Doomed to Fail!
