We only get to debate vaccines because they worked.

Polio is at 99% eradication. That last 1% is the hardest.

Progress isn’t permanent. We don’t protect children once. We have to protect them every 👏 generation 👏

David Potter’s story is a reminder that science doesn’t win by accident: https://www.redrocknews.com/2025/10/25/polio-survivor-david-potter-talks-to-rotarians/

Vaccines, global coordination, everyday people doing unglamorous work...that’s what keeps polio down.

Science isn’t perfect, but it’s the reason we get to argue about perfection online instead of dying at 35. ScienceSaves wants to create a day to thank researchers. A day to remember what happens when we stop listening to evidence.
