This study is an expansion by AI of 2 records published by Skeptron, a studio in the RISCON family, read beside the two public-domain texts listed below. Every sentence in a block quote is a record's own, word for word; the rest is AI writing. Skeptron's records are modern summaries of historical episodes written for a platform, not archival documents; they keep some of what the texts say and drop the rest, and the study says which where it matters. The copies of the two source texts available to this study are official public-domain and open-access documents: the preamble and Articles 1, 21, and 22 of the Constitution of the World Health Organization (1946, 2020 edition), and the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of 7 October 1994 certifying the eradication of polio in the Americas. The readings through the works named are this study's interpretation. Nothing in this study is advice on medical, legal or policy decisions.

Every sentence in a quotation block is Skeptron's record, word for word. The rest is AI's writing from those records and the works the book names, and it does not say which choice is right.
