Homeless living on the streets, defecating and micurating in the open. Dumping their garbage, rats running rampant. It is almost like the middle ages, or India outside where “real people” live.

If true, that is disturbing. Polio is horrible. If we have a sizable enough number of unvaccinated people in the US now it could allow for viral mutation and escape from traditional vaccination-medicated immunity.

Children are vaccinated with IPV (Salk vaccine) at 2, 4,and 6 months, with a booster between 4 and six years.

Adults traveling to polio infected destinations (like Pakistan) are advised to get a single dose of IPV.

If you are at all concerned about your safety in light of recent developments an IPV booster would not be a bad idea. We may be about to enter into a svere and long-lasting shortage if this NY story pans out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#1987

An enhanced-potency IPV was licensed in the United States in November 1987, and is currently the vaccine of choice there.[19] The first dose of polio vaccine is given shortly after birth, usually between 1 and 2 months of age, and a second dose is given at 4 months of age.[19] The timing of the third dose depends on the vaccine formulation, but should be given between 6 and 18 months of age.[53] A booster vaccination is given at 4 to 6 years of age, for a total of four doses at or before school entry.[20] In some countries, a fifth vaccination is given during adolescence.[53] Routine vaccination of adults (18 years of age and older) in developed countries is neither necessary nor recommended because most adults are already immune and have a very small risk of exposure to wild poliovirus in their home countries.[19] In 2002, a pentavalent (five-component) combination vaccine (called Pediarix)[99][100] containing IPV was approved for use in the United States.[101][100]

The Media, the government and the medical establishment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pharma.

I have one friend who is a doctor, 3 years retired. He couldn’t take it any longer.

Do MD’s actually practice medicine anymore? Do they use their computers to look up what to use for infections? I am thinking that they rely so much on the pharmaceutical reps and “the way it is done”, that they must feel like drones.

P in DPT is for pertussis, but IPV (polio) is given along with it at 2,4, and 6 months.

Maybe New York will realize the consequences of bringing in thousands of unvetted illegals into the Country. Mayor Adams needs to open his eyes, you asked for it now you got it.

Wow, our “science is our enemy” media, coupled with our “intelligence is our enemy” DemocRATs have decided on a thriple-threat health porn assault: Schong Covid, Polio, and today’s ever-changing variant of CovID.

Sorry, we’re not buying it anymore.

I feel sorry for each and every fool that I see wearing those useless masks. It is very hard not to laugh, but given our “publik skoolz”, it is only a polite thing to do to such naive proles.

They know it’s coming because it’s what they have next in the line up of plans.

Don’t know about polio but last smallpox vaccine given in 1971. Went to Europe and had to get one so I could get back in US. Immunity is said to be something like 10 years.

Probably an unvaccinated illegal alien.

No.

The DPaT is the pediatric version for Diptheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus. There are the DTaP-IPV-Hib and DTaP-IPV-HepB pediatric vaccines that have an inactivated Polio component.
