From another venue again: "This is an effect of vaccines that is not in the public mind. When I was studying the effects of vaccinations several years ago, one thing that I learned was that when polio vaccine was administered (live vaccine only, I believe), the infant/child shed the vaccine in bowel movements for some time. This would make diaper hygiene critical, but when you think of disposable diapers, it forms a scarier possibility. In the case of disposables, feces will end up in the landfill. Is this something we want just lying around? I can't believe these possibilities are not made more public." JP, Ontario

Fortunately, people who are not immune to polio don't hang out in landfills much in this country.

There are places where that isn't true, but disposable diapers aren't so common there....
