Thank you for the correction! That point is made very clear here: https://polioeradication.org/polio-today/polio-prevention/the-vaccines/opv/ https://polioeradication.org/polio-today/polio-prevention/th... It is listed as both a pro (initially free vaccination for anyone that it gets transmitted to) and a con (once it mutates to become neurovirulent. Now that I have some understanding of the limitations of the vaccines the idea that polio will actually be eradicated seems implausible unless we switch everyone over to the live form. I don't pretend to fully understand the subject, but the articles about cases of polio popping up seem to fit my mental model better than the one that expects to eradicate it.
