There is a book I have been wanting to buy, The Moth in the Iron Lung that goes into detail about polio. The author claims that famous photo of all the children in one room was staged. Your posts have really helped educate me on the true method of action of a vaccine.
Thanks for educating us about polio and polio vaccines. When were the injected vaccines put into widespread use in the western US? Sometime about 1955 or 56 I think I received a polio vaccine shot in Oregon. A year or two later I developed a “unicameral” bone cyst in my upper left humerus that was brittle and required several bone grafts. Last year I was writing my “memoir” and realized that was the exact site where I was injected. Coincidence or cause? Any thoughts?
“ Even in America with advanced monitoring of food and water, the virus still ends up in sewage because people continue to unnecessarily expose their children to the virus in the form of a shot.”
I thought the US doesn't use the “live” attenuated OPV and just uses the inactivated IPV, so why would IPV showing up in sewage be a problem? I know the attenuated virus can reactivate if passaged enough times.
