Her optimism and creativity to overcome the disability and live her life is powerfully inspirational.
I wish I could apply that optimism to my perception of a societal shift away from disability accomodations and the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy... Enabling parents to foster unvaccinated children is a guarantee that we'll get a resurgence of this type of disease.
I recommend everyone educate themselves on our immune system, a physical copy of the book "Immune" (ISBN: 1529360684) introduces the mechanics of the vast complexities in a very approachable manner. Also the podcasts through MicrobeTV by Vincent Racaniello are excellent.
Drinking a beer for her, she went to the high school very close by. I'm far too young to remember polio but still remember my grandparents talking about it. They had died of Covid-19 before her.
Something to remember by her is that the determination to live is something that keeps us going.
