Polio in America
Is the article written neutrally? (Does it provide strictly factual information?)I believe this article is somewhat neutral because its kind of displaced compared to my eBook that. Provides a correct extensive timeline about polio and its effects but my Wikipedia article provides accurate information as well. The Wikipedia article provides valid important and side information that my article doesn't like the fact that "In 2018, there were 33 cases of wild polio and 104 cases of vaccine-derived polio.[4] (Links to an external site.) This is down from 350,000 wild cases in 1988.". From my eBook chapter Pg. 130, Plague Season
I feel this article is similar to my Wikipedia page because it talks about when people started getting infected in polio, the effects of polio, how people contracted it, and how it had to be treated. Both articles support the fact that more then 350,000 were contracted with polio when kit first came about and it was a disaster."{On the other hand, the incidence of polio had remained relatively stable in the 1920s and 1930s at an annual rate of about four cases per 100,000. And here, quite clearly, is where the great change occurred. In the period 1940– 1944, reported polio cases doubled to 8 per 100,000, doubled again to 16 cases per 100,000 for 1945– 1949, and climbed further to 25 per 100,000 for 1950– 1954, with the peak of 37 per 100,000 reached in 1952."
