Solution

The most effective way to emphasize the severity of polio disease using the information from the notes would be: "Polio, a disease with no treatment, paralyzed more than 15,000 people a year in America and 8,000 in Britain, mostly children, until the 1960s. The fatality rate among paralytic cases was around 5-10%. The terror of polio continued until the invention of a vaccine, which set the world on a path to eradication. The Americas region was declared free of the wild poliovirus in 1994, followed by Europe in 2002 and Africa in 2020."
