How did Bill Gates and his foundation come to select Polio as the vaccine to target for eradication in the next few years (vs. other initiatives, diseases, etc.)?
But why specifically polio? Why not other diseases like malaria or HIV?
Diseases like malaria and HIV are more complex and difficult to eradicate due to the nature of the diseases and the lack of effective vaccines. Polio, on the other hand, can be targeted directly with existing vaccines and eradicated with a concerted global effort.
