Liman Maikaji picks up his son Abubakar, 6, who is crippled with polio at his family home in the village of Rimon-Gado outside of Kano, Nigeria. Religious zealotry and misinformation have coerced villagers in the Muslim north of Nigeria into refusing polio vaccinations and led to the reemergence of polio only a few years after it nearly joined smallpox on the CDC’s list of eradicated diseases.
