re: Just how great was the Polio Vaccine?

At the time of the vaccine, roughly 500 Americans were dying of polio annually. That’s right, only 500

Better hygiene and sanitation already wiped polio out here

This!!

Please don't attempt to use actual facts here, the person to which you are responding has already made up her mind.

The greatest part about the vaccine, according to its creator Jonas Salk, was that there was NO government
involvement in its development and testing.

If you want to see some head explode, just say "SV40" whenever someone claims vaccines can't alter human DNA.

The key to this is viruses can alter human DNA. There is growing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 has in some cases integrated into people's DNA. Whether it works in the way HIV remains to be determined.

One of the big differences between virus-based vaccines and mRNA vaccines is mRNA vaccines can't breach the cell wall. It is a false equivalency to compare the SV40 tainted Polio vaccine's ability to change DNA with mRNA vaccines which simply can't.

A couple of perspectives from first hand polio experience


there is considerable thought that indoor plumbing created more polio problems. the virus was naturally occurring and exposure to dirt tended to build up a generational resistance through mild exposures. in door plumbing tended to reduce the exposure resulting in lower resistance.

Every significant sized school might have 1-2 crippled children that was testament to the severity of the disease . Not uncommon to have a class mate drop out , not to return.

Modern communication was just evolving with television providing a larger view of the national condition. the view of lung machines was terrifying

The first round was live virus that had some risks but the med folks showed that it was truly advantageous. It was a shot in the arm administered at school. but was limited to one strain of polio. The second was dead virus administered orally with a sugar cube and covered the other strain also. I had both at 6 and 8th grades.

About the same time the small pox vaccine was delivered again at school. I still have the vaccine scar.

A lot of the research was done through March Of Dimes collections that were done at every school. The Jerry Lewis telethons were an offshoot of this

The US came together to fix the problem of polio

Fauci and the big pharmas and Brandon have polarized covid for the purpose of generating cash flows and control. There is no comparison to the polio response.

I own this opinion. My wife had polio and has worn the steel braces all her life.
