And 8 years later the vast majority of Polio in the world is cvdpv2. (There is more cvdpv2 then wild type 1 and 3 combined.)
You are correct in your details, but are completely missing the bigger picture.
If you look at stats there is zero evidence that cvdpv2 is going away, it just shifts countries, goes up, goes down, but has no signs of ending.
If not for the new vaccine (and I hope it works), cvdpv2 indicates the failure to eradicate Polio. The new vaccine may change the picture, we shall see in about 2 years.
Right now the Taliban is not the biggest obstacle to Polio eradication, cvdpv2 is. And if you check my comments this has been my claim from the start, so I'm not sure what you are arguing against.
Just because vaccines are great, doesn't mean they are perfect, it's not necessary to reflexively defend them.
