Polio Vaccines Now The #1 Cause of Polio Paralysis

Polio Vaccines Now The #1 Cause of Polio Paralysis







The Polio Global Eradication Initiative (PGEI), founded in 1988 by the
World Health Organization, Rotary International, UNICEF, and the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, holds up India as a prime
example of its success at eradicating polio, stating on its website
(Jan. 11 2012) that "India has made unprecedented progress against
polio in the last two years and on 13 January, 2012, India will reach a
major milestone -- a 12-month period without any case of polio being
recorded."

This report, however, is highly misleading, as an estimated 100-180 Indian children
are diagnosed with vaccine-associated polio paralysis (VAPP) each
year. In fact, the clinical presentation of the disease, including
paralysis, caused by VAPP is indistinguishable from that caused by wild
polioviruses, making the PGEI's pronouncements all the more suspect.¹

According to the Polio Global Eradication Initiative's own statistics²
there were 42 cases of wild-type polio (WPV) reported in India in
2010, indicating that vaccine-induced cases of polio paralysis (100-180
annually) outnumber wild-type cases by a factor of 3-4. Even if we
put aside the important question of whether or not the PGEI is
accurately differentiating between wild and vaccine-associated polio
cases in their statistics, we still must ask ourselves: should not the
real-world effects of immunization, both good and bad, be included in
PGEI's measurement of success? For the dozens of Indian children who
develop vaccine-induced paralysis every year, the PGEI's recent
declaration of India as nearing "polio free" status, is not only
disingenuous, but could be considered an attempt to minimize their
obvious liability in having transformed polio from a natural disease
vector into a man-made (iatrogenic) one.



VAPP is, in fact, the predominant form of the disease in developed countries like the US since 1973.³ The problem
of vaccine-induced polio paralysis was so severe that the The United
States moved to the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in 2000,
after the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
recommended altogether eliminating the live-virus oral polio vaccine
(OPV), which is still used throughout the third world, despite the
known risks.

Polio underscores the need for a change in the way we look at so-called
"vaccine preventable" diseases as a whole. In most people with a
healthy immune system, a poliovirus infection does not even generate
symptoms. Only rarely does the infection produce minor symptoms, e.g.
sore throat, fever, gastrointestinal disturbances, and influenza-like
illness. In only 3% of infections does virus gain entry to the central
nervous system, and then, in only 1-5 in 1000 cases does the infection
progress to paralytic disease.

Due
to the fact that polio spreads through the fecal-oral route (i.e. the
virus is transmitted from the stool of an infected person to the
mouth of another person through a contaminated object, e.g. utensil)
focusing on hygiene, sanitation and proper nutrition (to support innate
immunity) is a logical way to prevent transmission in the first
place, as well as reducing morbidity associated with an infection when
it does occur.

Instead, a large portion of the world's vaccines are given to the Third
World as "charity," when the underlying conditions of economic
impoverishment, poor nutrition, chemical exposures, and socio-political
unrest are never addressed. You simply can't vaccinate people out of
these conditions, and as India's new epidemic of vaccine-induced polio
cases clearly demonstrates, the "cure" may be far worse than the
disease itself.
