Polio – The Virus and It’s Effect
“Polio spreads from person to person invading the brain and spinal cord and causing paralysis (inability to move). ” – CDC, 2014
“Most people who get infected with poliovirus (about 72 out of 100) will not have any visible symptoms.” – CDC, 2014
“Most people with polio have no symptoms; minor symptoms such as limb pain, fatigue and nausea affect about 4% to 8% of patients, according to the CDC. Fewer than 1% of cases lead to patients becoming permanently paralyzed, usually in the legs.” – CNN, 2012
“Paralysis is the most severe symptom associated with polio because it can lead to permanent disability and death. Between 2 and 10 out of 100 people who have paralysis from poliovirus infection die because the virus affects the muscles that help them breathe.” – CDC, 2014
Annual U.S. Mortality Rate for Polio
Less than 1 death per year – CDC, 2014
Polio Diagnosis Declined Due to Change in Criteria, not the Vaccine’s Efficacy
“The fact that dubious tactics were used to fabricate efficacy rates was corroborated by Dr. Bernard Greenberg, chairman of the Committee on Evaluation and Standards of the American Public Health Association during the 1950s. His expert testimony was used as evidence during Congressional hearings in 1962. He credited the “decline” of polio cases not to the vaccine, but rather to a change in the way doctors were required to report cases: “Prior to 1954 any physician who reported paralytic poliomyelitis was doing his patient a service by way of subsidizing the cost of hospitalization… two examinations at least 24 hours apart was all that was required… In 1955 the criteria were changed… residual paralysis was determined 10 to 20 days after onset of illness and again 50 to 70 days after onset… This change in definition meant that in 1955 we started reporting a new disease… Furthermore, diagnostic procedures have continued to be refined.” – Neil Z Miller – The Polio Vaccine: A Critical Assessment of its Arcane History, Efficacy, and Long-term Health-related Consequences, 2004
Dr. Maurice Hilleman’s Admissions to Polio Vaccine Causing Cancer
As the developer of Merck’s vaccine program, Dr. Maurice Hilleman developed more than three dozen vaccines, which is more than any other scientist in history. In this archived interview excerpt recorded by WGBH, Boston’s Public Broadcasting Station, you will hear his own admission that, “vaccines have to be considered the bargain basement technology for the 20th Century.” This is quite a statement from someone who should be the proudest and utmost progenitor of vaccines’ safety and effectiveness.
When he spoke about bringing the monkeys over from Africa, which they used to manufacture the polio vaccine, he had this to say, “I brought African greens in. I didn’t know we were importing AIDS virus at the time.” And following the two reporters’ outburst of laughter, Dr. Hilleman replied, “This is the real story.”
A little later in the interview, Dr. Hilleman stated, “Yellow fever vaccine had leukemia virus in it. This was in the day of very crude science.” He continues, by telling of his conversation with Dr. Albert Sabin, the creator of the oral Polio vaccine, over the effect it was having on their test population, the Russians. He said, “I have a feeling in my bones that this virus is different. I don’t know why I am telling you this, but I’ve been around biology a long time. But I just think this virus may have some long term effects. And he just said what? And I said, “Cancer.”
Polio Vaccine Caused Cancer
A cancer-causing monkey virus grown in their kidneys – SV-40 – was administered to millions between 1955-1961. In fact, “our analysis indicates increased rates of ependymomas (37%), osteogenic sarcomas (26%), other bone tumors (34%) and mesothelioma (90%) among those in the exposed as compared to the unexposed birth cohort.” – AntiCancer Research, 1999
Presence of simian virus 40 (SV-40) DNA sequence in human lymphomas might be a pathogenesis of non-Hodgkins lymphomas. “SV40 is significantly associated with some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These results add lymphomas to the types of human cancers associated with SV40.” – The Lancet, 2002
“These results establish that SV40 is associated significantly with brain tumors, bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.” – American Journal of Medicine, 2003
“We conclude that SV40 is significantly associated with some types of NHL (non-Hodgkins Lymphomas) and that lymphomas should be added to the types of human cancers associated with SV40.” – Leuk Lymphoma, 2003
People Receiving Polio Vaccine Increased Likelihood of Contracting Polio
“In 1995, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study showing that children who received a single injection within one month after receiving a polio vaccine were 8 times more likely to contract polio than children who received no injections.” – Neil Z Miller – The Polio Vaccine: A Critical Assessment of its Arcane History, Efficacy, and Long-term Health-related Consequences, 2004
“The live attenuated strains used in the oral poliovirus (OPV) … strains replicate in the human gut and are excreted for several weeks after immunization…This may, in rare cases, cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) in vaccinees or result in transmissible and neurovirulent circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) strains.” – Vaccine, 2009
So, let’s take a look at the data. Did the cases of polio decrease after the vaccine? Well, in fact, no. The chart to the left shows 5 states (MA, CT, NH, RI, VT) that were sampled show an increase in polio after the vaccine ranging from (266% – 642%). – Neil Z Miller – The Polio Vaccine: A Critical Assessment of its Arcane History, Efficacy, and Long-term Health-related Consequences, 2004 via US Government Statistics
The Polio Vaccine Created New Cases of Polio
In fact, according to CDC figures, every case of polio in U.S. since 1979 was caused by the polio vaccine or from foreigners bringing wild polio into the U.S. – CDC – Morbidity and Mortality Report, 1999
The wild polio virus brought about the development of polio vaccines, which spawned mutations of the polio virus, resulting in new “vaccine-derived” polio viruses. – The Lancet, 2001; CDC –Poliomyelitis Prevention in the United States, 1990
On September 24, 1976, The Washington Post, 2006 reported Dr. Jonas Salk’s assertion that the live oral virus vaccine of Dr. Albert Sabin had been the cause of reported polio cases in the US since 1961.
“Vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs), strains of poliovirus mutated from the oral polio vaccine, pose a challenge to global polio eradication. Immunodeficiency-related vaccine-derived polioviruses (iVDPVs) are a type of VDPV which may serve as sources of poliovirus reintroduction after the eradication of wild-type poliovirus.” – Vaccine, 2015
“The oral vaccines are inexpensive, costing about 12 cents per dose, and simple to administer. But they are not foolproof. In one out of every few million recipients, they cause polio paralysis. Immune-impaired individuals can become long-term shedders of the virus.” – Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, 2008
The Polio Vaccine Can Shed
“Maximum viral shedding occurs in the first 1–2 weeks after vaccination, particularly after the first dose. Vaccine viruses may spread from the recipient to contacts. Persons coming in contact with fecal material of a vaccinated person may be exposed and infected with vaccine virus…Infected persons without symptoms shed virus in the stool and are able to transmit the virus to others.” – CDC, 2010
“Fecal shedding of virulent revertant polioviruses was examined in isolates from infants previously immunized with > or = 1 dose of orally administered live attenuated polio vaccine (OPV) alone, enhanced-potency inactivated polio vaccine (EIPV) alone, or a combination of both.” – The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
“A Staten Island man stricken with polio after changing his daughter’s diaper 30 years ago won a multimillion dollar judgment from the maker of the oral vaccine that passed through her stool.” He “was awarded $22.5 million. The jury determined that the Orimune vaccine his daughter, Diana, received was “unreasonably dangerous” and that drugmaker Lederle Laboratories was “100% liable” for his injuries.” – NY Daily News, 2009
