Practice Opening:

No matter how hard the world tries, in 20 years polio will not be eradicated. There will always be that less than one percent of people who remain unvaccinated for one of many reasons. Whether it is fearing that the child may contract the disease or autism from the vaccine, or disliking the components of the vaccination, there are too many reasons for why people will not be vaccinated for polio to ever be eradicated. India’s population of over a billion people only has eight or nine at any given time with polio. This is representative of how no matter how much the world gets rid of polio, it will still be slightly present somewhere.
