Polio Outbreak in New York... What Happened to America's Fear of Disease?

Listen Later

New York is experiencing a polio outbreak. But how can this happen... when polio was declared eradicated from the U.S. back in 1994! 

In this brief episode, I discuss one of the reasons why some previously eradicated diseases may return, and use excerpts from previous podcast conversations with experts to drive home my point. 

Below are links to podcasts that you will hear about in this episode: 

S1E41: Dr. Meredith Wadman - history of vaccines in America

S1E31: Mr. John Barry - history of the Spanish influenza

I hope you enjoy these episodes.
