Where is smallpox and polio making a comeback?


Smallpox is no longer found in the general population.

Polio is, mostly in some of the poorer countries. Given the easy
of owrld travel it seems pretty obvious that kids in the USA
should get their shots.

According to this web site world eradication is getting close.

According to what I understand is that both polio and smallpox did hit a
lull in recent times but the trend nowadays is upward.
Maybe thats simply a matter of reporting statistics from these
under-developed countries. Remember when we didn't have cancer?
