#5 According to the once-useful World Health Organization: Of the 3 strains of wild poliovirus (type 1, type 2 and type 3), wild poliovirus type 2 was eradicated in 1999 and wild poliovirus type 3 was eradicated in 2020. As at 2022, endemic wild poliovirus type 1 remains in two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Surely the WHO can manage two punk-ass countries without our help.

#7 With the migrating populations, especially of Afghans driven out by the Taliban, wild polio is being reintroduced all along the migration route, separate from situation like the big polio vaccination drive in Gaza that was necessary because they cheaped out on the vaccine, infecting the entire vaccine-age cohort with vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2. They discovered that when polio was found in the sewage after the second part of the first round.
