Fauci Says U.S. ‘Probably Would Still Have Polio’ If There Had Been As Much Misinformation As With Covid Vaccines Now
Forbes ^ | Jul 17, 2021 04:34pm EDT | Joe Walsh

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.”

How many children lost their lives because the government rushed the polio vaccine? Asking for a friend.

What BS....And what a terrible thing to say. At least someone created a vaccine....unlike Fauci who said there would be a vaccine for Aids...and we're still waiting.

The Polio Vaccine was a true vaccine...and fully approved.

If Fauci could have made a buck on it, you bet you’re bippies we’d still have it.

A better question would be. Does polio have a 99.8% rate of survival with no issues.

The Wuhan Flu isn’t nearly bad enough to be considered on a par with polio.

Or even the Spanish flu for all that matter.

Considering the infusion in the present is experimental and the polio vaccine was extensively tested .... I say fauci is a liar

And you probably would have been tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail in another age, “Doctor”.

It’s what we did to snake oil salesmen.

The first polio vaccine was a failure. It harmed many people. The Salk vaccine was a success.

I see we’re still sticking microphones in front of this snake oil peddler.

For well over a year he has sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher to me: “Wah, wah, wah...”

“...Fauci warned that some unvaccinated adults have been exposed to false information..”

Everybody is exposed to false information 24/7 by likes of CNN.

Did we have Ivermectin, HCQ, etc, etc as alternatives to polio treatment at the time?

I didn’t think so either.

I HATE it when ‘doctors’ give you only one side of the story and try to obfuscate their ways past the whole truth

But the polio vaccine was not part of China’s biowarfare attack on the West.
