RE: Polio hasn’t returned to Venezuela, but public health officials were right to assume the worst

Wow. Good news about the polio scare. Thanks for the update. One less thing for the poor people of Venezuela to worry about.

Also shitty news about the CIA co-opting a valid and humanitarian effort such as a polio vaccination team. I did not know about that. Is there anything that they can't eff up?

Yeah, it was to get blood samples so that they could match the DNA. Pretty ingenious but you’d like to think there’d be someone in the room with a bit of sense about the unintended consequences when someone chucked that idea on the table.
