Inside this Issue:​
​Polio Survivors and Problems with Attention:  Is ADHD the cause?  
  • Richard L. Bruno, HD, PhD has written an article that discusses why we have to be very cautious of quick, formal diagnoses (such as ADHD) for these symptoms.
Polio Eradication: Even a worldwide pandemic hasn't stopped the work.
  • As we approach World Polio Day on October 24th, there have been only two reported cases of the wild poliovirus in the world this year.  What’s the secret?  Community Health Workers. 
  • "Their success in the field revolves around a single pivotal moment: the short, interpersonal interaction between health workers and caregivers, or ‘the knock’ on the door.”
  • There has never been a BETTER time to join Team Survivor.  We ARE a part of the solution.
​Post-Polio Osteoporosis  
  • Dr. Marny Euberg, MD has written her second Q&A on this issue that so many polio survivors share.
​​Survivor John Munsick tells his fascinating story – not all of which was pleasant.
  •  Hospitalized in Pittsburgh, he was part of the Salk Vaccine Trials in 1954.
The Demands of COVID19 on Health Care Workers is significant all over the world.
  • Mothers in Nigeria feared the worst . . . that their children would not be able to receive routine immunizations.  Nigeria is now free of the wild poliovirus. The infrastructure that has been created to eradicate it has shown once again that even in the midst of a terrible pandemic, no child has to suffer from a vaccine preventable disease.
