Send a bunch of those polio cases over here, so we can quickly establish herd immunity in the US. Please a bunch of those foreigners at the security checkpoints of the in largest US airports, and soon enough the problem will be solved...

Which means there are thousands of actual infections as only ~1% of poliovirus infections result in polio syndrome.

Can't wait for the US to fall off the list of places where it's been eradicated...

Pakistan has enough problems already. They keep hoping somehow, magically, China will bail them out.
