Because viruses are not living things, so you can not "poison" them to kill them like you can bacteria and other disease causing infectious organisms that are alive. We must rely on the ability of our immune systems to render the virus particles inert/inactive by blocking their entry into our cells with antibodies, or rely on vaccines to prevent the viral infections.
In addition, it is difficult to prevent infections by viruses that easily mutate, such as the common cold. They mutate so rapidly and into so many different forms it is not possible to create a vaccine before the virus has mutated again. This is also one of the reasons why we need an annual vaccination for the flu. This is another virus that can mutate to new forms and disrupt our bodies' ability to prevent the infection with antibodies from prior infections of the same virus.

∙ 13y agoIn general it is nearly impossible to completely eradicate a disease.
Even the plague have been found in London as late as 1992 "Correct me if I'm wrong on the exact date"
There is a lot of country's that do not have the funds needed to do a widespread vaccine, and even a single victim can end up spreading the disease further.

How does a person's body fight off polio
How do you describe the reproduction of polio in the body?
Polio virus can infect only human being. Like other viruses, polio virus infect the cells. After getting attached to the cell, the virus genome is inserted into the cell body. The genetic material of the host is broken into small fragments and assembled as per the genome of the polio virus. Multiple such copies are formed and then released in the body to infect the new cells.
What was used in an attempt to fight the spread of polio?
Immunizations were formed in an attempt to fight different disease such as polio. In many parts of the world where immunizations are given, polio and other previously deadly diseases are virtually non existent.
What is a example of Immunity's?
An example of active immunity is the oral polio vaccine because it's a live attenuated vaccine. It means that, weakened polio virus will be given to you so that your body can form antibodies from it and can fight the virus. If your body itself made the antibody from an antigen, it's an example of an active immunity.
What is the causes of polio?
when you have polio your body has caught virals
What system human does polio affect?
Polio affects both the skeletal and muscular system. When the polio virus enters the body it immediately attacks the nervous system, followed by the muscular system. The muscular system is what gives the skeletal system the ability to move. Thus, when the muscular system gets infected the skeletal system no longer has the power to move the body to where it wants to go. This is known as paralysis.
What is the polio vaccine called?
Poliomyelitis Vaccine. I don't think they're are any other names to it than that and the "Polio Vaccine" It can be done by OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine) or through inoculation (Dead Polio Virus is injected into your body). This immunization is known to have side effects.
What is the best description of polio?
It is a disease that causes your nerve cells to inflate in the brain cells and spinal cord. É uma doença que provoca o seu células nervosas para inflar em células do cérebro e da medula espinhal
What human body system is affected by polio?
Polio affects the nervous system.
What is role of virus in making vaccine?
The most common role of a virus in making vaccines is injection of a live weaken form of the virus. This virus will reproduce poorly once inside the body.
Can the polio vaccine cure polio?
No, there is no antibiotic that will get rid of the polio germs but there is a vaccine that I would strongly recommend getting. However, the vaccine will not cure the Polio when you have it, it will prevent you getting Polio again.
