Since 1988, Rotary International has sponsored World Polio Day with a focus on eradicating the disease from the earth for good. The world was doing pretty good at eliminating this preventable disease until the 2020s, when anti-vaxxers, spurred by conspiracy theories and junk science coupled with lockdowns due to COVID-19, made keeping up with immunizations difficult.
