That year alone, more than 33,000 Americans fell victim to the disease—half of them under the age of ten. But tireless advocates, teams of scientists, and everyday Americans donating their dimes led to the development and rollout of a life-saving vaccine, one of the most important medical breakthroughs in U.S. history.

One hundred years ago, a devastating polio epidemic struck New York City, killing 6,000 people across the country. For decades afterward, parents lived in constant fear of their children being killed or disabled by this terrifying disease. But today, thanks to a century of astounding innovation to develop a vaccine and launch a worldwide effort to stop polio, the world is within striking distance of eradicating polio forever—a stunning testament to human progress. | Melinda French Gates
