Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Pledge $1.2 Billion to Eradicate Polio

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said on Sunday that it will commit $1.2 billion to support efforts to end all forms of polio globally.

Polio is a highly infectious disease spread mainly through contamination by fecal matter, used to kill and paralyze thousands of children annually.

Governments and foundations aim to end polio in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the last two countries where the virus continues to circulate.

“The last steps to eradication are by far the toughest. But our foundation remains dedicated to a polio-free future, and we’re optimistic that we will see it soon,” said Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is run by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda French Gates.

Last month, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Peru are at very high risk for the reintroduction of polio. New York state is accelerating efforts to vaccinate residents after the virus was detected in wastewater samples. Cases were also detected in London and Jerusalem.

In March, a senior World Health Organization official said that the world is at a “dangerous moment” in the fight against diseases like polio, after an outbreak in Malawi.

The announcement came ahead of a key pledging moment that will be co-hosted by Germany and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) on Oct. 18. The Gates Foundation is part of the GPEI, a major project between governments and international organizations. The foundation has contributed nearly $5 billion to GPEI.

The most effective method would be to stop the unscreened mass immigration from s-hole countries.

I guess if you eradicate people who have polio or are susceptible to it, it’s the same thing.

Better than Soros & wife setting up scholarships to our graduate schools for immigrants and their children in some huge amounts.

1. Cook up a new polio variant in the lab

2. release it in the wild

3. Force people to take the vaccine.

Eradicating polio is a noble goal. Of course, when Gates is involved one must strongly suspect an ulterior motive.

Anyway, I suggest that Gates assemble two teams. One team to go into Pakistan and Afghanistan with the shots. And a second team to retrieve the murdered bodies of the first team.

It was eradicated in the USA until Gates ordered the Biden to bring everyone in.

right on queue. as i said in another post:

from what i’ve read, 95% of the population is reportedly not in the least affected by exposure to the polio virus which can be ubiquitous with poor sanitation. it’s apparently a tough virus that can survive extremely harsh environments like waste water, so it is a danger to a small minority of the population.

only 5% of the population seems to be susceptible through infection to the characteristic paralysis.

The microchips in the vaccines turn you into zombies and force you to buy vegetables.
