I read somewhere that Jonas Salk testified before Congress that he regretted the vaccine bc he believed that the polio epidemic was already on a natural decline due to improved hygiene and that the vax itself was causing new cases.
Now I like to bash Bill Gates as much as the next guy, possibly more, but it seems this graph leaves out the number of wild polio cases that were prevented because of the vaccine, since we have no way of knowing those.
"But we eradicated polio? Where did the blue line come from?"
Step one of breaking the brainwashing is to get past the polio-block. Every pro-vaxer's first defense is "Vaccines work! Look at polio!"

Everyone always says "Bill Gates did..." You must realize there's an entity behind bill gates. Bill gates is a figurehead.
