Amid sagging Covid-19 vaccination rates and stubborn levels of vaccine hesitancy, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Saturday the United States’ successful campaigns to eradicate smallpox and polio in the last century wouldn’t have succeeded if those vaccines were subject to the same level of misinformation that currently surrounds coronavirus vaccines.
In an interview with CNN, Fauci warned that some unvaccinated adults have been exposed to false information, are often skeptical of objective Covid-19 data and frequently justify their decision not to get vaccinated with “things that are really just not true.”
After anchor Jim Acosta compared the situation to polio, the government’s top infectious disease expert offered a dire warning: Fauci said efforts to eliminate smallpox (which was eradicated worldwide over 40 years ago) and polio (which has been eliminated in almost every country) would have faltered under the current climate of misinformation.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“If we had had the pushback for vaccines the way we're seeing on certain media, I don't think it would've been possible at all to not only eradicate smallpox, we probably would still have smallpox,” Fauci told Acosta, “and we probably would still have polio in this country if we had the kind of false information that's being spread now.”

Gates Vaccine Spreads Polio Across Africa
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has made himself the global vaccine czar as his foundation spends billions on spreading new vaccines globally. While much attention has been given to the role of Gates behind the corrupt WHO in promoting radical untested coronavirus vaccines, the record of the Gates Foundation pushing an oral polio vaccine across Africa gives more sobering evidence that all Gates says and does is not genuine human charity. The UN has just recently admitted that new cases of infantile paralysis or polio have resulted in Africa from an oral polio vaccine developed with strong support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It mirrors what happened in the USA in the 1950s. This is worth a closer look.
Vaccines that cause polio

Right. And must I show a polio vaccine card to go to a concert or get in a bus? No. I don’t have to show I am vaccinated for ANYTHING to go ANYWHERE in the US - except Covid now.
How contagious are measles? Yet I can get in a cruise ship without proving a thing or wearing a mask over them.
…only Covid - a disease with 99.8 percent survival
He should have read Moth In The Iron Lung, everyone should
Polio had trials too. I had a coworker who participated in one and he got the placebo, got polio and now has a withered left arm. At least he didn’t end up in an iron lung. He was pretty pissed he ended up a guinea pig.
Do a search for polio vaccine, adverse reactions. The vaccine caused the disease in a number of cases, killing some and permanently crippling many more. The trade off with most vaccine is killing some but saving more. It would be nice if we could hear the truth. Just once. And be permitted to decide for ourselves. I am tired of being treated like an imbecile and a wimp.

That was supposed to be survivors
And THAT is exactly the question
And, the people who misinformed the world about Covid-19 were all democrats and the WHO. So, where is the misinformation really coming from? Fauxi is the leader of the misinformation charlatans....
if if there weren’t billions of dollars to be made with a rushed “vaccine” other available medicines could have been used instead of banned by misinformation...
Here is the analogy. If Polio were a “bio-weapon” cooked up by our enemies at the time (the Communists?) AND we found out that our own government participated in funding the effort AND our own government and the spokesperson lied about it and was actually involved in the effort... then yes, we'd have a different opinion about Polio AND yes, we'd be very skeptical of anything told to us about so called spokesperson.
Side note: I put bio-weapon in quotes because it is still not known if that was the intent for the Wuhan virus by the Chinese government. I guess that it is moot since it had the same effect as a bio-weapon attacked. Best of all for the Chinese, they can plead innocence because no one is holding them to task. And we need to know. We have the right to know.
Best I can tell, 10 died due to undetected manufacturing error.
Dr. Falsi, were the polio vaccines approved by the FDA?
The lack of successful animal trials, control groups, and evidence of natural occurrence as we’ve known in standard scientific and medical observations procedures is cause for a full stop.
I had a relative who could’ve used an AIDS vaxx.
Our leaders are ‘morally reprehensible”
Woah ! Shouldn’t have looked !!!
“ The Cutter Incident: How America’s First Polio Vaccine Led to a Growing Vaccine Crisis
Reviewed by Michael Fitzpatrick
Additional article information
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.
Paul Offit, paediatrician and prominent advocate of vaccination, sets the `Cutter incident’ in the context of the struggle of medical science against polio and other infectious diseases over the course of the 20th century. He reminds us that, within a decade of Karl Landsteiner’s identification of the polio virus in 1908, an epidemic in New York killed 2400 people (mostly children) and left thousands more with a life-long disability. In the 1950s, summer outbreaks in the USA caused tens of thousands of cases, leaving hundreds paralysed or dead. `Second only to the atomic bomb’, polio was `the thing that Americans feared the most’.
Offit provides a gripping account of how the `March of Dimes’, inspired in part by President Franklin D Roosevelt’s personal experience of polio, raised funds for research and focused national attention on the disease. He profiles leading figures, notably Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin —brilliant, egotistical and flawed characters—pioneers in vaccine development and as scientific celebrities, and notorious for their bitter personal rivalry.
Offit offers a balanced judgement on both the Cutter incident and on the Salk and Sabin vaccines. Reviewing failures in the manufacturing and inspection processes, he exonerates Salk from blame and concludes that `the federal government, through its vaccine regulatory agency... was in the best position to avoid the Cutter tragedy’. Three larger companies produced safe polio vaccines according to Salk’s protocol for inactivating the virus with formaldehyde. The lack of experience and expertise at Cutter Laboratories, undetected by the inspectors, caused the disaster.
While acknowledging Salk’s mean-spiritedness towards colleagues, Offit believes that in denying him a Nobel prize, history has dealt harshly with a man who was `the first to do many things’ that have contributed to the virtual eradication of polio in the USA. The Cutter incident led to the replacement of Salk’s formaldehyde-treated vaccine with Sabin’s attenuated strain. Though Sabin’s vaccine had the advantages of being administered orally and of fostering wider `contact immunity’, it could also be re-activated by passage through the gut, resulting in occasional cases of polio (still causing paralysis in six to eight children every year in the 1980s and 1990s, when a modified Salk vaccine was re-introduced). As Offit observes, `ironically, the Cutter incident—by creating the perception among scientists and the public that Salk’s vaccine was dangerous —led in part to the development of a polio vaccine that was more dangerous’.
The Cutter incident had an ambivalent legacy. On the one hand, it led to the effective federal regulation of vaccines, which today enjoy a record of safety `unmatched by any other medical product’. On the other hand, the court ruling that Cutter was liable to pay compensation to those damaged by its polio vaccine—even though it was not found to be negligent in its production—opened the floodgates to a wave of litigation. As a result, `vaccines were among the first medical products almost eliminated by lawsuits’. Indeed, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was introduced in 1986 to protect vaccine manufacturers from litigation on a scale that threatened the continuing production of vaccines. Still, many companies have opted out of this low-profit, high-risk field, leaving only a handful of firms to meet a growing demand (resulting in recent shortages of flu and other vaccines).
The contemporary climate of risk aversion and predatory litigation deters the introduction of new vaccines and discourages innovation in a field which boasts some of the most impressive achievements of modern medicine. To protect vaccine development—and ultimately public health —Offit proposes that the option of suing vaccine manufacturers should be stopped and that compensation should only be available through the official programme.

To big pharma, the polio vaccine was the biggest loss of money ever. It annihilated polio but could’ve made billions more by slowing down the disease instead of obliterating it.
No Lockdowns: The Terrifying Polio Pandemic of 1949-52
https://www.aier.org/article/no-lockdowns-the-terrifying-polio-pandemic-of-1949-52/
“In the 1952 season, of the 57,628 cases reported, 3,145 died and a shocking 21,269 experienced paralysis. “
“the thought of locking down an entire state, nation, or world was inconceivable. The concept of a universal “shelter in place” order was nowhere imaginable. Efforts to impose “social distancing” were selective and voluntary. “
” the terrible and terrifying disease of polio was managed almost entirely by a private and voluntary system of health professionals, innovators, parental responsibility, localized caution, and individual volition and caution where needed. It was an imperfect system because the virus was so vicious, cruel, and random. “
