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.

the emergence of these cases so soon after the announced eradication of wild polio in Africa is a setback.

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.

All the COVID-19 vaccine candidates are going through full phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 clinical trials. None are untested. They're being tested with tens of thousands of volunteers over the course of months. And since we don't yet have phase 3 trial results from any of the candidates, we don't have efficacy numbers. Your 50% number is pure speculation intended to drum up fear that it won't work.

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.

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.

In an area where there are high enough levels of immunity in the population, this usually does not present a problem...

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.
