Maternal Correlates of Poliomyelitis Vaccination Uptake: Evidence from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria
This study focuses on the impact of women's empowerment and women's working status on the uptake of polio vaccination of children in polio-endemic countries, including Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Nigeria, the latter of which has recently been declared polio-free.

Our niche world demands a new approach to health
When Elvis Presley rolled up his sleeve and received the polio vaccine backstage at The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956, most Americans knew about it.

The eradication of polio in the U.S. is truly a testament to vaccination ’s extraordinary power
I opened the exam room door and hit something. Peeking around the door, I saw an elderly woman wearing a pink sequined hat who was perched in a motorized scooter parked awkwardly in front of the door.  I slinked around her to my stool and sat down as I introduced myself.

Why Are People So Mad at Police?
ConclusionWe started with a simple question:Why are so many people so mad at cops these days? Plainly there are many reasons, and we should avoid the temptation to oversimplify. But it would be a monumental error to dismiss that anger if there is some justification for it, as well as a grave injustice.

Twerking Disease: The Definitive Medical Resource For Doctors.
