  I’m helping cure it now! So to explain… rather than cure someone who has a disease like polio, it is better that they never get it. Imagine never getting a cold because the vaccine you take works really well? So with polio, by vaccinating a person lots of times they may never get polio. If everyone was vaccinated lots of times with the polio vaccine, no one would ever get it. If no one ever gets it, then polio disappears forever. This is called eradication, and this is what I try to help doctors do.
