Did You Know This About Polio?

In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40, 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.

  1. Still better than living with polio, a highly transmissible disease that was extremely prevalent in the 20th century and is now considered almost completely eradicated, with only 30 worldwide cases of wild polio virus detected in 2022. True the science is not perfect. It’s also capable of doing immense good.

    1. Did you read the article? 200 000 children contracted polio from the polio virus. 200,000 children that mostly likely never would have contracted the horrid disease. Sure science is capable of doing much good but that power in the hands of immoral, corrupt, greedy people is a very dangerous situation and detrimental to our health. Doctor’s pay off scientists to produce false data and promote lies. Doctors receive kickback for pushing medication, vaccines and procedures. It is a vicious cycle of filling their pockets with dirty money while keeping us sick so we continue to be a loyal customer. This cycle echos through EVERY sector available. Food, air, schooling, clothing, and water. Look at the share holders for every major company. Only a handful of names run this world.
