Polio became mandatory around 1960 or. We were given it, a shot, in school. I want to say 1st or 2nd Grade, so somewhere 1960-62.

“The majority of the people with polio don’t have symptoms and so can spread the virus without knowing it.”

Where have we heard that before? It’s not exactly how they make it out to be in either case.

And why are we vaccinating for something where “the majority of people don’t have symptoms”? Sorry y’all but polio is not the super scary thing it’s been made out to be for the past century. The fact remains that paralysis risk is minuscule. Your risk of developing GBS from the flu shot is probably higher.

It astounds me how brainwashed people are regarding polio. People really believe that millions died and were paralyzed.

Here's a graph that show cases and deaths in the US.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/r...tes-since-1910

Frankly, the flu stats that have now *suddenly* disappeared from the media are more *scary* than the polio stats. And more women die per year from cervical cancer which is exceedingly rare than male AND female who died from polio each year.

People just need to be terrorized by government medical propaganda. And NYC is ground zero.

How many people died of polio in the US in 1950?

Just because more people lived than died doesn't make it ok for those who died. Then there were the people who were left disabled for life after having polio. They matter.

Most people knew someone or knew of someone who had polio back then. I went to elementary school with a girl who wore a metal brace on her leg to be able to walk. Her leg muscles were totally wasted from polio.

How many cases per year?

How many were paralyzed?

How many deaths?

But I don't care, I can't and won't force them. Sometimes people are so hard headed that their community is going to have to suffer a pile of dead and crippled babies before they have a revelation.

About ten or so years ago, I read article in one of them popular science magazines.Wish I remebered exact name. Anyhow. Article was about outbreak of polio in Britain. Cause was determined as - polio vaccine. Apparently, pathogen in it was flushed out with human feces into the nature, then there mixed with the normal fauna food, and ending in animals, normally consumed by humans, like pigs.

Just saying.


Of course, NOW, there is no "proof" to vaccine shedding. Outside of maybe voices like this:
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61915794
Haven't we been through similar with COVID vaccines? Shedding virus by vaccinated?

Polio has never actually disappeared.

They rename the condition and give it basically the same symptoms. Do a little tweaking here and there for the diagnosis. Or just change the criteria outright. What was once polio is now NOT polio.

And since it's called something else or diagnosis can't be made? Well it's not polio. Poof, polio gone. Smoke and mirrors.

People don't understand the shell game that is played with health.
