SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO – Because of Rotary's leading role in the fight against polio President of the San Benedetto del Tronto Rotary Club, Alberto De Angelis, intervenes on the occasion of the World Polio Day which takes place every year on October 24th.
This year's event is, among other things, an important anniversary of the day the Global Polio Eradication Initiative is celebrated. It's actually the thirtieth year. It was in fact created in 1988 and announced at the Rotary Convention in Philadelphia.
" It is wrong – explains De Angelis – which considers certain diseases as belonging to a bygone past. Polyomelitis, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough have not been definitively defeated, as bacteria travel both on migrants' boats and in the first clbad of airports. "And in the midst of the heated controversy that, especially in recent years, shares the spirit of vaccines, Rotary occupies a precise position: "The risk of the epidemic is concrete Vaccination is an act of social responsibility, it is not a private matter because the behavior of each affects the safety of others, especially the most fragile".
Rotary confirms its determination to counter the theories of these vaccinations by calling them superfluous, even harmful, maintaining a position that has always distinguished all clubs, local and global, who have never been spared to help, each in your possibilities, the cause of vaccinations. For example, during the vaccination campaign in 1995 for the Albanian population endemic for hepatitis B, thanks to the synergistic initiative of all the Italian districts. An initiative that also avoided a potential epidemic in our country in the face of the migration wave that would have occurred soon.
"He was a Rotarian – reminiscent of De Angelis – discover the oral polio vaccine. I'm talking about Albert Sabin who, just as importantly, gave up the patent by proposing the formula that would have saved the lives of millions of people for free. "And it was from there that the initiative that led the Rotary, at the end of the 80's, to launch the initiative which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary today. Rotarians continue tirelessly to support the cause with their leadership and considerable investment of time and resourcesalso thanks to the generous contributions of those who believed and believed in the eradication campaign, first and foremost the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which, thanks to the multiplier effect (2: 1 ratio), triples every dollar donated by Rotarians.
