Not only that Karl, as CDC has openly admitted in their global surveillance data: "Circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPVs) can emerge and lead to outbreaks of paralytic polio as well as asymptomatic transmission in communities with a high percentage of undervaccinated children."

Translation: Vaccinated individuals can infect unvaccinated individuals - polio vaccine is not a "sterlizing" vaccine - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39418214/

I just had a "spat" with a poster calling "anti-vaxxers" stupid or such. It's a religion that needs enlightening. I do it post at a time. But Goodonya for putting this together.

Thank you, Karl. These 'fun facts' totally lay the lie to America's polio mythology. My family was large and rather poor, but we (and 99% of the country) weren't pooping in the streets back in the 40's and '50's. As an aside, pretty crazy that 'we' are now!
