VOA News - Polio Outbreak in 15 African Countries Setback for Global Eradication
VOA News reports: "The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies warns a polio outbreak in 15 African countries threatens the global eradication campaign and puts many children at risk of getting this crippling disease."

Comment: The real tragedy here is that these outbreaks are largely the result of politicians and religious leaders who suspended public vaccination campaigns. They did it on purpose for trumped up reasons and now the people are paying the price.
