POLIO STRIKES BACK By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

Child at "French clinic for polio victims" , Marshall Plan records, NARA ID 19992258.
Like COVID, polio is an infectious disease that once terrorized people worldwide and led to quarantines, shutdowns, illness and death. Some polio patients relied on not ventilators to breathe but an “iron lung” - a large pressurized cylinder wherein victims would lie and oxygen would be drawn into the person’s lungs by creating a vacuum.
Polio timeline: 1894-1st documented US Polio epidemic 1921 - FDR contracts polio at age 39 (see FDR and Polio) 1954- Salk polio vaccine trials begin for 1.8 million children. 1955 - Scientists deem polio vaccine safe and effective. 1979 - Polio considered "eliminated" from the US thanks to widespread polio vaccination.
But IT'S BACK. 2022 - CDC announces (9/13/22) polio cases in New York.

Prescription for FDR's leg braces that includes his note that the braces don’t fit, 7/5/1926. FDR Family records, FDR Library.
One president was directly affected by polio - FDR, who contracted polio while on vacation in 1921 at age 39 and became paralyzed from the waist down. While he hid this condition from the public, for the rest of his life he tried to find a way to rehabilitate himself and others afflicted with infantile paralysis. He established the March of Dimes on January 3, 1938, with the original name "National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis."

Q. Who should get the RSV vaccine?
A. The ACIP recommends adults ≥60 years may receive a single dose RSV vaccine using shared clinical decision-making. As part of this discussion, providers and patients should consider the patient’s risk for severe RSV-associated disease. Persons aged ≥60 years who are at highest risk for severe RSV disease and who might be most likely to benefit from vaccination include those with the following chronic medical conditions:
• Lung disease (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma)
• Cardiovascular diseases (such as congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease)
• Moderate or severe immune compromise
• Diabetes mellitus
• Neurologic or neuromuscular conditions
• Kidney disorders
• Liver disorders
• Hematologic disorders
***Adults aged ≥60 years who are residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are also at risk for severe RSV disease.
Optimally, vaccination should occur before the onset of the RSV season. Coadministration of RSV vaccines with other adult vaccines during the same visit is acceptable.

World Immunization Awareness Week is an annual global initiative aimed at raising awareness about the importance of immunization in preventing diseases and promoting public health. It typically takes place in the last week of April and is organized by various health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During World Immunization Awareness Week, efforts are focused on educating communities, policymakers, and healthcare professionals about the benefits of vaccines in preventing serious illnesses, disabilities, and even deaths. The campaign highlights the impact of vaccines in controlling and eradicating infectious diseases such as measles, polio, influenza, hepatitis, and many others. Key messages often emphasize the safety, effectiveness, and accessibility of vaccines, debunking myths and addressing concerns that may contribute to vaccine hesitancy.

Q. How effective are the RSV vaccines for older adults?
.
.
.
.
.
A. Both vaccines performed well in clinical trials, according to data presented to the FDA.
Arexvy™, developed by GSK, is following participants through three RSV seasons. GSK reported an overall efficacy of 82.6% against lower respiratory tract disease during the first season, 77.3% for mid-season, and 67.2% over two seasons. Against severe disease, efficacy was 94.1% during the first season, 84.6% at mid-season, and 78.8% over two seasons.
Abrysvo™, from Pfizer, showed an efficacy of almost 89% against lower respiratory tract disease involving at least three symptoms in the first year after vaccination, and 78.6% mid-way through a second season in the data presented to the FDA.
While data showed that one vaccination could be protective for at least two seasons, no determination has been made on how frequently the shots should be given.

Google's "Get Back to What You Love" Ad Inspires Hope for Post-Pandemic World, Despite Imperfections
youtube
Tumblr media
Google's ad "Get back to what you love," released on March 24, 2021, inspires hope for a post-pandemic world where we can get back to living freely and joyfully, much like we did before our lives were turned upside down. The advertisement encourages people to vaccinate against COVID-19 by utilizing Google Search and Maps to search for "covid vaccine near me" (as seen below) so they can return to enjoying life and the activities they loved doing before the pandemic. By overcoming this challenging time through vaccination, the ad conveys a message of hope that people can once again live life fully and "get back to what we love."
Tumblr media
The ad's target audience is the general public, who have been greatly affected by the pandemic and desire a return to normalcy. The ad's emotional appeal would resonate strongly with those who have sacrificed significantly and struggled with isolation over the past year. The products and services advertised, like Google Search and Google Maps, are framed as tools to help people access resources to overcome the pandemic, such as searching for vaccine sites and transitioning back to post-pandemic life.
Moreover, the ad utilizes emotional manipulation by evoking sadness over the difficult last year to amplify feelings of hope and joy over coming out of the pandemic. However, while uplifting, the ad has flaws in its simplicity. The past years have been an immensely traumatic period that caused much grief—and an ad implying we can easily "get back to what [we] love" and pick back up where we left off risks seeming tone-deaf. The realities of navigating life after such a prolonged disaster are far more complex than the ad suggests. There are aspects of "normal" life that we may never get back, losses we will continue to grapple with, and ways we have fundamentally changed.
At the same time, the vision the ad inspires can be profoundly hopeful for those who have felt imprisoned over the past year. The idea of freely socializing, traveling, and seeing your favorite spots changing their signs in Google Maps from “Temporarily closed” to “Open” (seen in the pictures below) touches our deep human need for connection and purpose. The ad taps into nostalgia for simpler times when we took mundane aspects of pre-pandemic life for granted, like spontaneously running into friends, going out for coffee, and visiting loved ones in person rather than through a screen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite its imperfections, the ad's message of resilience and restoration is moving. The gradual return of familiar routines and rhythms, the ability to notice life blooming again, and the appreciation for simpler pleasures will bring relief and gratitude. The ad reminds us that hope is real and that we can find joy by pursuing meaning, adventure, leisure, and love in a changed world. This emotionally evocative ad provides an optimistic vision for the future, inspiring hope that we will rediscover what it means to live fully once more.
