A Polio Case in the United States. What Does it Mean?

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

Believe it don't mess around. II contracted it at age 4 and been out in 1963. And it turned into Minecraft spy home and enjoyed us. I ended up with one leg nearly 4 inches shorter and today. Well, since the age of 45 I've been disabled and there are things I can do. But I'm very limited on top of it, it affects the brain. And that's my biggest problem my brain people don't mess around. I talk to people all the time that don't want the viruses well if you don't take the viruses you take the chance of getting what I got and believe me you won't like it. Take the vaccine.

I knew two people personally who had it. You don't want it!

US has been place on list of countries
Where polio as came back... anti vaxx groups are putting Kids at risk... DUM

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

the gifts of diversity

Have you guys ever done a video on fasting? That would be a really interesting topic I think.

Very interesting video. Thanks so much for sharing!

It's disgusting that parents think it's okay to refuse this vaccine.

The mysterious neurological illness, later described as polio, started right after widespread national use of vaccines. Vaccines didn't cure polio. It CAUSED it.

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!"

RIP USA. Given how you handled covid, you're right screwed if this gets out and about.

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 feel sorry for the children of anti-vaxxers who might see the return of this horrific illness.

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!

Imagine trusting the medical industry after these past few years 🤣🤣🤣

I was a "polio pioneer" - got the Salk injection in mid 1950s.

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 recall getting the sugar cube at the nearby High School's auditorium one Summer. I'll have to listen again to understand the significance of weakened virus.

HT please make a video on MAOIs

it mean the antivaxxers have won and we are all doomed

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 wonder if Polio being seen as a childhood disease affects how people respond to an outbreak compared to something like monkey pox.
Personally, if a polio booster vaccine came out and was recommended, I would get it either way. But I think the motivation to do it "to protect children" would be a bigger push for me than something that only effects me.

these things, least to me, seem to do things like steer elections for what is arguably better. brazil/usa ex. as bad as it may seem. my two coughs

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?

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!

Without anti-vaxxers this virus would have probably been eradicated already. Some cavemen in certain remote places believed in some conspiracies and refused to take the vaccines and the whole planet is suffering the consequences.

If the man was unvaccinated, how do we know that it's vaccine-derived? Are there genetic markers built into the vaccine to detect this?

Someone said Marco

I'd like to like this but this sounds pretty awful tbh

What happens to infants under 2 mo who can't get the vaccine yet? How do you prevent them from getting it?

May God bless the human race of the 21st century.
