Does Dr. Paul Vaccine have a Plan to protect your child from the hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring into the US from high-risk countries; adults and children that have never been vaccinated?

Illegals crossing the border is not anything new, yet there aren't any recorded cases of polio in the US. It is more likely for my child to get polio from the vaccinethan from another person, so we chose the option with lower risk.

You are incorrect. It is not more likely for your child to get polio from the vaccine than get it from someone else. Let me explain why.

It was the oral trivalent polio vaccine (protected against wild types 1,2, and 3) that could potentially cause polio in children. That was because the attenuated wild type 2 variant of the polio virus could recombine and have genetic reversal and cause polio. The wild type 2 variant virus went extent in the 1990s. The WHO recommended switched from a trivalent oral polio vaccine to a bivalent oral polio vaccine in 2016 and oral trivalent vaccines are no longer produced. Inactivated polio vaccines (IPVs) as the name suggest are made of inactivated viruses so it is not possible for the viral genetic material to recombine. The USA switched to IPV only in the year 2000.
