PRESIDENT GARY C.K. HUANG’S
AMBITIOUS 1.3 MILLION MEMBERSHIP GOAL
------------------------
Political unrest in Pakistan has been a gift to the poliovirus,
with 99 cases reported there so far this year.
But Rotary International,
which has already vaccinated 2 billion children in 122 countries,
is hitting back hard
Epidemiology can be all about geography—
and that’s
especially true when it comes to polio.
If you live in the U.S., where polio
was eradicated in 1979,
the specter of the disease has faded almost entirely,
though pockets of infections can occur among the unvaccinated.
In Pakistan,
however,
things are moving in precisely the opposite directions
One of only three countries in the world where
polio
remains endemic (the other two are Nigeria and Afghanistan),
Pakistan had
been close to joining
the world’s polio-free nations,
with only 58 infections
in 2012.
But thanks to bans on vaccinating—
and deadly attacks on polio
fieldworkers
—by the Pakistani Taliban,
the caseload rose to 93 in 2013.
a figure all the more alarming
compared
to this point last year,
when there had been just 21 case
“It’s a scary number,” says Aziz Memon,
Pakistani
chairman of Rotary International’s
polio eradication campaign.
“Children in
North Waziristan have been trapped
for three and a half years without a drop of
polio vaccine
, and that’s what’s causing this.”
The folks at Rotary know what they’re talking
about.
Since launching their polio eradication effort in 1985,
they have been
responsible for the vaccination
of 2 billion children in 122 countries.
Along
with the World Health Organization,
UNICEF, The Gates Foundation
and others,
they have helped slash
the global infection rate from 350,000
cases per year in
1988 to 416 in 2013.

A man answers the phone
and has the following conversation:
“Yes, mother, I’ve had a hard day.
Jennifer has been most difficult –
I
know I ought to be more firm, but it is hard.
Well, you know how she is.
Yes, I
remember you warned me.
I remember you told me that she was a vile
creature
who would make my life miserable
and you begged me not to marry her
worthless ass.
You were perfectly right.
You want to speak with her?
All
right.”
He looks up from
the telephone
and calls to his wife in the next room:
“Jennifer, your mother
wants to talk to you!”
