Though it's all but eliminated now, polio (a virus like Covid-19)...
... was once rampant in our population, crippling hundreds of thousands until a vaccine was created!
Interesting how polio proved to be an "equalizer", turning a social snob into (as my father used to say) "a genuine human being"!
Penciled by (I think) Tony Talarico and inked (definitely) by Sal Trapani, this never-reprinted story from Charlton's Teen Secret Diary #3 (1960) is a paean to a time when we were a somewhat more empathetic society.
The writer is, unfortunately, unknown.
The fact one of our then-recent Presidents, Franklin D Roosevelt, was crippled by polio was a factor in the speed a cure was found.
Wonder if that would work today...
