    Seriously. I’ve said this before here, but travel somewhere the polio vaccine wasn’t widely available. The amount of suffering via deformity and impacted development it causes is frightening.

      Highly recommend watching the documentary “Benda Bilili!” about a group of street musicians in Kinshasa, DRC. They’re mostly paralyzed due to childhood polio, but it’s a very uplifting doc. They even sang a lovely song on their debut album about it called Polio.
