Clarification: The individual in the United States diagnosed with Polio was not vaccinated. The vaccine-derived polio they were infected with was likely transmitted from another individual who had received the oral Polio vaccine, but all the details are still being chased down. Our apologies for the confusion! -Tiffany
I was a "polio pioneer" - got the Salk injection in mid 1950s.
My grandmother had polio as a child and had to be carried around by her brother for a long time. She thankfully regained the ability to walk, but had to wear special shoes the rest of her life and even in the 50s she never wore dresses or skirts because her legs were misshaped. Get vaccinated. You do NOT want polio!
My friend John is still unable to walk because he was infected as a child. It’s not only affected his life and lung capacity, but also that of his children. These people aren’t that old!
I missed all my childhood vaccinations, and I had to go to some trouble to obtain the polio shot. I heard it was returning, and I figured I'd better take the warning.
I wonder if Polio being seen as a childhood disease affects how people respond to an outbreak compared to something like monkey pox.
I had meningitis at age 4. Slowly became sicker afterwards leading me to full disability and being homebound. Vaccines were against meningitis had not been invented for young kids back then. You do not want to chance meningitis either.
I'm just curious what the polio-deniers are going to come up with for this one. "we don't need to breathe!" "You're just not getting to breathe hard enough" "flea cream works soooo much better than an iron lung!"
Very interesting video. Thanks so much for sharing!
HT please make a video on MAOIs
Have you guys ever done a video on fasting? That would be a really interesting topic I think.
OK I listened a second time. Why does the oral vaccine prevent the spread of polio in areas where it's endemic?
London? First, get rid of that pump handle!
I knew two people personally who had it. You don't want it!
I'd like to like this but this sounds pretty awful tbh
I'm a little confused how it can be vaccine derived Polio in a patient who is unvaccinated? Is that not contradictory, or does it mean the virus he had came from someone else's vaccination?
What happens to infants under 2 mo who can't get the vaccine yet? How do you prevent them from getting it?

Wow talk about statistic confusion ….
Polio definitely has affected western countries in recent times. Unfortunately medical professionals have just renamed the dam thing if they find a case so its not called polio, but everything else is the same. It just doesnt become a stat if its not called polio
