Unfortunately, there were more cases [of polio] in 2018 than in 2017 (29 versus 22).  â§
The numbers and rosy picture here aren’t quite as nice as otherâmore detailedâreporting in the Economist recently would lead us to believe.
In some sense I do appreciate the sophistication of Bill Gates’ science communication here though as I suspect that far more Westerners are his audience and a much larger proportion of them are uninformed anti-vaxxers who might latch onto the idea of vaccine-derived polio cases as further evidence for their worldview of not vaccinating their own children and thereby increasing heath risk in the United States.
