What an absolutely monumental achievement! People throw parties for the dumbest garbage- Columbus Day, new years, pagan plagiarism day (Christmas). This deserves celebration. Can we get an Eradicated Malaria Day?
Would fit in well with smallpox eradication day: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/5/3/23709475/smallpox-world-health-organization-disease-covid-vaccination-health
