Not to mention, polio spreads! If you can eradicate polio in a country for a paltry $100 million, it's in other countries' interest to do so, even if some of the money gets stolen. This is the difference between traditional charity evaluation (which seeks honest management) vs effective altruism (which seeks good done per dollar).

exactly!
People can't look past the egregious* waste of money to see that it isnt a waste at all, even if Nigeria should have repaid the debt or Japan should have forgiven it.
None of that matters! The result matters! Eradicating polio matters!
