Polio: are we concerned?

Hmm, ok just to entertain this conversation though I have no personal stake in convincing you of it, to share: I’m not personally concerned, I’m personally curious what others think. In New York there are pockets of communities that are very isolated. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with these areas but in Rockland county where the case was found, and in areas of Westchester, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island there are communities who are unfortunately very closed off from, um, general society I guess would be a way to say it. There’s also a very vehement resistance to following the recommended schedule of vaccines amongst New York republicans.

Mostly I posted this to hear others’ level of alarm though.
