Actually, we now know that most poliovirus infections are asymptomatic, and flaccid paralysis or death occurs in less than 1% of those infected with poliovirus.

1% of infected experiencing paralysis or death is still almost twice as high as they CLAIM COVID causes, and the reported claims for COVID deaths are about as reliable as the current presidential vote totals.

Also, remind me: did we have country-wide lockdowns and mask mandates for polio? I can't remember.

You were posting about vaccines. Now the goalpost is lockdowns? Got it. The worst year for poliovirus in the USA was about 3200 deaths. That was a YEAR. We have had DAYS with almost that many deaths. That said, I am mostly ignoring lockdowns, though I am trying to keep away from elderly and high risk people.

If we had concentrated on personal responsibility and protecting the most vulnerable, we could have done much better without lockdowns and the associated economic catastrophe.
