There is no “cure” for polio. You can be immunized, but there is no cure. And the vaccination was discovered in the 50s, the corporate landscape of the world has changed significantly since then.
Small pox is similar, no real cure, but vaccinations are very effective.
Why the hell would we want to develop a cure for a disease once it becomes symptomatic if we have the option of stopping it from ever taking hold in the first place?
Also, H pylori eradication was pioneered in the 80s, which pretty much epitomises corporate greed. We also have imatinib that works on CML that was discovered in the 90s.
