  1. There is a big difference in polio vaccine which has been around since vaccines were invented - literally, and an mRNA which is the first one ever.

  2. Yes, which is why it should have been eradicated like smallpox.

  3. A lot of the flu shots that the big pharmas have been working on are mRNA because those can be patented.

  4.  @lordhelwintr283  most don't unless they're going overseas or are in specific populations. It's been eradicated from wider spread in the US since the early 90s.

  5. Except polio hasn't been a mandated vaccine for decades.

  6. Funny. I haven't been sick since I started.

  7. Nope. Andrew Wakefield is a bastard. He was the first to publish on it, didn't disclose it was part of a lawsuit he was being paid for, and they didn't retract it until 2010 after his paper had been promoted (but never verified).

  8. Probably more with boosters but half of them aren't mandatory. I got 16 on a single day when i turned 18, but that was my choice.

  9. Polio was eradicated in the Americas. It would be people crossing the Atlantic illegally.

  10.  @debanydoombringer1385  i believe that wasn't wide spread use though. It was only used for people going overseas.

  11.  @alexanderamore9995  yup. It's germ theory. Terrain theory is hippy bullshit that doesn't hold up to anything.

  12. California and Washington outbreaks are almost entirely US citizens who are anti-vax, the Minnesota outbreaks due to the Somalian community who specifically was targeted by Andrew Wakefield against vaccination. Polio is basically only in middle east and and African country that are anti-vax. It should have been eradicated a decade ago if people had gotten vaccinated there.

  13. Unfortunately I think Jenny McCarthy body count website is down now.

  14. Because the wider population isn't vaccinated against polio.

  15. Considering it's been around as long as gates has been alive....no.

  16. It started in 1998. It should have ended in 2010 when the article that kicked it off was finally retracted because it was complete BS.

  17. Cancer isn't contagious.

  18. It's one of the safest vaccines on the market. If it wasn't effective it wouldn't have been eradicated in the US.

  19. The Wakefield paper (linking heavy metals in the MMR vaccine was published in the 90s. It was retracted in 2010 because it was complete BS that he made up for a lawsuit he was involved with against a vaccine manufacturer. The mercury (in a compound) in vaccines is 100% safe. If you have silver fillings you are more exposed to mercury than you would be from a vaccine a million times over.

  20. This is a more terrifying possibility than COVID and monkey pox put together with a side of ebola. Polio was set to be eradicated 10 years ago. It can be eradicated (unlike COVID). Most of the US population isn't vaccinated against it because there simply isn't a threat here (unless you go over seas). It's mostly fecal oral transmission with a 25% symptomatic rate but of those who are symptomatic a very high number will have serious complications. Even adults don't have immunity now (like they used to due to not being exposed as a child). This wouldn't hit the boomers because they were vaccinated against it but millennials and younger could face serious consequences if it gets out. This is fucking Andrew Wakefields fault and every anti-vax death is on him. The dude faked a study for a lawsuit and provided decades of distrust in vaccines that were perfectly reasonable. If you want to look into a scumbag (especially if you're vaccine hesitant towards MMR or polio) look into Wakefield and his discredited ass.

  21. Polio isn't becoming more vaccine resistant. It can be eradicated (a couples strains already have). The strains that are coming back can be prevented by vaccination. Unfortunately a snake oil sales man in the 90s wrote some papers that were 100% fabricated for a lawsuit that drove people away from getting vaccinated due to concerns about vaccine side effects (which compared to death are pretty light). His name's Andrew Wakefield, all his papers were retracted but he somehow is still held up as a bright star in the anti-vax movement.

  22. I was homeschooled and only got basic vaccines when i was a kid (MMR and normal kid vaccines). Didn't get any from 5-18. When i turned 18 and did the research i went and got 16 shots in a single day before going camping for a week. I felt like crap for a couple days - just very sore (that may have been the hiking and canoeing), but much happier today that i got all of them.

  23. There was only one guy left in an iron lung. Guess they needed to ramp up production again.

  24. I get the flu vaccine because it protects for decades against a reoccurrence of that flu. If I'm healthy now, get the shot and in 10 years it comes back, but now i have cancer or something I'm still protected. GB is such a small chance from the flu shot it's hardly with considering (especially since you can get GB from the flu as well).

  25. Insulated population and most died before they were 30?

  26.  @entropic8708  are you saying germ theory is a hypothesis? Cause it certainly isn't.

  27. It can be triggered by a lot of things. It's incredibly painful. Unfortunately people don't get chickenpox vaccine which would also prevent shingles from developing later in life.
