“Vaccination has made smallpox extinct in the wild, as well as rinderpest, a relative of measles that affects cattle and buffalo, among others. Poliomyelitis, which has in its heyday killed and maimed millions of children and adults alike, is close to eradication, with fewer than 200 wild-type cases documented in 2020. Vaccines are some of the most effective public health interventions against infectious disease.”

“We don't know what kills polio germs," Dr. Steinberg said. "We don't know who or what carries polio, and there's still some debate about how it enters the body. But what's important is that you cleaned up an unhygienic mess and reassured the boys by the way you took charge. ... You must understand that a lot of us who are much older and more experienced with illness than you are also shaken by it. To stand by as a doctor unable to stop the spread of this dreadful disease is painful for all of us. A crippling disease that attacks mainly children and leaves some of them dead -- that's difficult for any adult to accept. You have a conscience, and a conscience is a valuable attribute, but not if it begins to make you think you're to blame for what is far beyond the scope of your responsibility."
He thought to ask: Doesn't God have a conscience? ... But instead he asked, "Should the playground be shut down?"
"You're the director. Should it?" Dr. Steinberg asked.”
