A new polio outbreak in Sudan has been linked to the oral polio vaccine that uses a weakened form of the virus.
...
WHO said two children in Sudan, one from South Darfur state and the other from Gadarif state, close to the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea, were paralysed in March and April. Both had been recently vaccinated against polio.
The WHO said initial outbreak investigations showed the cases were linked to a continuing vaccine-derived outbreak in Chad that was first detected last year and is now spreading in Chad and Cameroon.
While so-called vaccine-derived polio is a known risk, the emergence of these cases so soon after the announced eradication of wild polio in Africa is a setback.
At issue is the fact that the oral polio vaccine – preferred in some places because of its ease of delivery and the lack of need for sterile syringes – uses an attenuated or weakened version of polio.
When a child receives the oral vaccine, the weakened virus replicates in the intestine, encouraging the production of antibodies, and can be present in excreta. In an area where there are high enough levels of immunity in the population, this usually does not present a problem, even if sanitation is poor.
But in areas where there is both poor sanitation and a lack of general immunisation the virus can survive and circulate for months, mutating over time until it poses the same risk of paralysis-causing disease as wild polio.
Use of the oral polio vaccine was discontinued in the UK in 2004 and the US in 2000, and the UN agency advises that the use of the oral vaccine should be discontinued after polio is judged to be eradicated because of the risk of vaccine-derived outbreaks.

Yeah, but be sure to take the untested Covid vaccine, which you are assured will be safe, and maybe 50% effective...
We had a version of the same problem in the U.S. a few years back. Use the DEAD version of the virus . . . NOT the weakened version. It isn’t as effective, but you don’t cause polio with it.
P.S. for those who do not know me. I am NOT a medical doctor. I am a comic book mad scientist doctor.
1) We've eradicated polio in Africa.
2) But we still vaccinate people in Africa against polio.
3) The polio vaccine is giving people polio.
4) This is, let us say, a "setback".
Faulty polio vaccines are a huge scandal in India. Bill Gates is in the thick of it.
Is this the Gates vaccine?
Trey Billygoat Gates will save us. He’s Commander-in-Chief of the microSoftkill Army. Tony Wormhead Fauxi is a 5-star general.

CDC + CCP + PCC (Population Control Centers) = Lots of DEATH

Stop drumming up fear. That's the media's job.
That was the Salk vaccine, developed by Jonas Salk--and that's what I was given. The Sabin oral vaccine, developed by Albert Sabin, was phased in during the Kennedy administration.
Lots of reading material to decode for scientists, etc., etc. and those interested.
Agreed. Somebody made a stupid decision about which vaccine to use and now people are suffering the consequences of that decision. None of this would be an issue with the third generation platform, but we have to see whether that’s actually viable.
I’ll be glad when 2020 is over.
I think it is.
I wouldn’t go to Sudan for medical treatment.

So if you are already immune to polio, you won’t be adversely affected by this vaccine which uses a live attenuated polio virus. In which case, you likely didn’t need the vaccine in the first place. Conversely, if you have no polio antibodies, this vaccine will give you polio. Sounds like a problem.
One of Tony Wormhead’s favorite utterances...
“Gain-of-function” is the euphemism for biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses. GoF research is government funded; its focus is on enhancing the pathogens’ ability to infect different species and to increase their deadly impact as airborne pathogens and viruses. Ostensibly, GoF research is conducted for biodefense purposes. These experiments, however, are extremely dangerous. Those deadly science-enhanced pathogens can, and do escape into the community where they infect and kill people. What’s more, this line of research can be used for biological warfare.
The Guardian?
Nowhere in the article says WHO/which country manufactured the oral vaccine. Why is it not been revealed by both W.H.O. and the british reporting journalist(s)? Wouldn’t you think “it” mighty important info?
Third world Africa hellholes have always been an ongoing battle against diseases the rest of the world has put behind.
