Technically only smallpox has been completely eradicated in humans. Polio is just almost eradicated.
Which, given how awful polio is as a disease, is still a huge goddamn win.
So much disinformation centers around “how can we ever completely stop it!?!?”
But we don’t talk about fire this way. Fire is inevitable - literally, fundamentally, inevitable. As long as humans live on Earth, or as long as humans require oxygen to live and energy to thrive, we will have fires, whether we intentionally make them or not.
According to the World Health Organization, 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide. COVID-19 has killed over 5 million people worldwide in just 2 years. So you bet wrong.
What if we look at it from a slightly different perspective? 16,000 people died from the flu in the United States in 2024, and about 29 million more were infected. For the first time in five years, the mortality rate from seasonal flu surpassed the number of coronavirus victims.
Be that as it may, I regard COVID like the flu; it takes down the weak, and this is normal from an evolutionary standpoint.
I’m really not interested in entertaining any social darwinist trash like this. The nazis tried it, it was dumb then, and it’s dumb now. Keep this kind of nonsense to yourself.
Look up Polio

That doesn’t mean we stop trying to fight fires.
Polio types 2 and 3 have been eradicated but fair enough.
I bet more people die from the flu than from the coronavirus, and especially from polio.
