and we can eradicate polio. how are we doing on that score? >> well, the big good news is the india elimination. where their last case was in january 2011. and they've stayed polio free. we have three countries left. three tough ones, pan stand and afghanistan so those are the two in asia. and then in africa it's nigeria. and you know, they should be doable. india was just as hard as they should be. so with the right political commitment, a little bit of innovation in the tools, i feel quite confident we'll get it done it is the thing i spend the most time on and making sure there's enough money for it. making sure we're trying out new things. it's hard work. >> rose: but the reason you spend the most time because you want to do something where you can actually believe you have accomplished your purpose or is it deeper and broader than that? >> well, the world has invested a lot in polio eradication. and been reasonably successful? >> well, if we stop the effort, then it will spread back to the other country. >> rose: so you have to eliminate.

for years there has been a global drive to eliminate polio.tries. but recently, it has suffered a setback in pakistan. why? all stemming from the killing of osama bin laden in the city of abbottbad. the cia used a team giving vaccinations to gain information about the al qaeda leader. as reza sayah shows us, many families don't trust these vaccination programs. >> this is 17-month-old ekra. she probably will never be able to walk on her own. doctors say they'll probably spend the rest of her life paralyzed, a victim of polio. when the other kids play, she cries, because she wants to play with them but she can't even move her mother says. here's what makes this tragedy worse. doctors say she could have lived a normal, healthy life, if someone would have given her a polio vaccine that cost less than a dollar soon after she was born. the father of two says he rejected free polio drops for his children. the u.s. pays for these campaigns to destroy muslims and make them slaves, he told us. >> that incident of the doctor affect our polio program, no

[ laughter ] researchers came to this conclusion by exposing hamsters to dim light at night and picking up changes in the brain that bore striking similarities to symptoms in depressed people. well done. [ laughter ] instead of having people watch late-night tv, then simply asking them if they're depressed, scientists exposed. hamsters to a dim light and guessed how the hamsters felt. you know, science. [ laughter ] well, however they did it, it's clear that they're on to me. there's no use trying to cover it up anymore. nation, this show was designed to depress hamsters. [ laughter ] cat's out of the bag. that's why i created my long-running segments "elusive water bottle," "that wheel is getting you nowhere," and "this week in dim light."

pakistan is one of three countries in the world where polio remains a large-scale risk. republican presidential candidate mitt romney continued a foreign trip over the weekend with a visit to israel. romney's campaign drew headlines after a top aide initially announced sunday that romney would announce support for his pre-emptive israeli military attack on iran should israel deem it necessary to stop iran's alleged nuclear activities. but after taking the stage for a speech sunday night, romney backed off from the stance, stopping short of declaring his support for unilateral strike. instead, he echoed president of his longstanding position to leave all options on the table. >> we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the iranian regime from its nuclear cores, and it is our fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. in the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded. we recognize israel's right to defend itself, and it is right for america to stand with you. >> as romney headed to israel, president obama took new steps to display

in 1921 he suffered an attack of polio, lost the use of his legs. he was paralyzed from that time on and period we are dealing with now is 23 years into that period of immobility on his part. i don't think the public realized how paralyzed he was. that he had no agility physically liege though he had a good deal of ability verbally. he was a brilliant speaker. he was a brilliant combine your of words and most of the public never knew that he was to used the word then in use, cripples. pictures were not taken of him in a wheelchair. pictures were not taken of him using braces or crutches. if they were the press was very discreet. they didn't do such things. the press would be a lot less discreet today. we are now dealing with a roosevelt that the public thought they knew but they didn't really know very well. he gave speeches on radio. there was no television yet. speeches on radio called fireside chats. he had no fire side as he spoke and the people he spoke to listened on their little radios that were not near any fireside either. this was just the

people died from getting the polio vaccine, doesn't mean that we should get rid of it. if some laws can limit the number of gun incidents. >> however clever the experts are going to assemble, how ever meticulous you draft what statute you end up placing in -- >> but we can limit the frequency. he bought these gun stores at bass pro. this middle-class went to gandro mountain and bass pro. >> this young man as well, generally, these are done by men, usually young, although, not always who, one of the most confounding things that i heard from the mayor, he wasn't typical the loner you would expect, having a life yet having this secret world. >> we don't know about it. i thought that dr. richard besser was smart in telling us not to jump to conclusions about us. he's crazy, i mean, somebody doesn't do this without being crazy, but why, what set him off? why batman? and all of that. >> and george, one of the other questions that i have, we're doing it today, we're doing the whole show basically on this subject, does that somehow create the opportunity for people to say, ther

polio? >> from childhood, yes. in a way, he had always been fascinated as a small boy with d-day. when he saw all the troops assembling and the rest of it. he knew he could never go with them. but one reason why he is such a good military historian is that, although he could never be in the army, he was fascinated by the role of problems. s sympathy for soldiers and anybody involved in through his sympathetic imagination. >> if you had a room full of young students who wanted to do what you have done, what would you start to tell them about being a historian? >> the first rule of the historian is to understand. it is not to make more judgments. that should be left to the reader. you do not go into an archive -- you go into an archive with fixed ideas, the best thing that could happen to you is to find that those six ideas are completely wrong. then you find something new and interesting. i am very opposed to the german idea that you should have a thesis and support it with material. that means you are selecting the material to suit your individual prejudice. the vital thing is to

polio has come in. you go do africa and get do a place with an outbreak so you can be exposed to diseases and illnesses you would not expect to see in the united states but because of international travel and getting on the plane you have people passing through airports and they need and cough on you. that is the problem. >>shepard: advice? >>guest: three things to do: one, keep your hands to yourself . don't shake hand hands. don't kiss. the more you are controlling who you come into contact with, better. bring your little hand sanitizer. it is useful. do something else which i am sure we are not thinking of, get your vaccination. why? because if you don't vaccinate against pumps or measles or whooping careful we get an epidemic right now in the united states, with washington state nine times the number of whooping cases than last year. why? non-vaccination. why? the cases are coming in through the airport. >>shepard: this weirdness from people who think vaccines are -- i don't know where the heck that

they're against vaccinating things for kids like polio. so this is just a totally bogus report.olks who want to repeal, as you say, for the 31st time, the health care bill. rather, by the way, than come up with an alternative, something that is going to help folks get access to preventive care. >> many doctors are upset that they're not longer adequately getting paid for services. do you think it's a crack pot group and a crack pot idea that 80% of the doctors will walk out? >> well, i've talked to another doctors to know they're quite concerned and they recognize the health care decisions belong in the hands of patients and doctors, not the federal goth. obamacare is a government approach to one of the most personal aspects of our lives. we need to protect that doctor/patient relationship. i also talked to doctors who don't even encourage their own children to go into the health care profession because they don't like the direction that it is taking. they're not encouraging others to go into the profession. >> by the way, insurance companies where they were talking premium doll
