This cartoon relates more to the time when Stalk created the polio vaccine. When his vaccine was introduced it was a relief to all of the world. Polio today isn't seen much in places like America but definitely seen over in the middle east including places like Syria, Afghanistan etc. Jonas Stalk's vaccine has most definitely impacted our world and if his vaccine was not discovered, would make living life today very different. The fear of polio has decreased over time but is still seen in areas around the world because of living conditions and situations that are occurring right now such as the civil war in Syria.
